Apply for a post-mortem
If you're unsure of what caused the death abroad (for example, the medical certificate doesn't make this clear) you may be able to apply for a post-mortem.
To apply, download the assistance with post-mortem examinations form and email it to dcrs@nhs24.scot.nhs.uk.
You can also post them (using recorded delivery) to:
Healthcare Improvement Scotland
Death Certification Review Service
Norseman House
2 Ferrymuir
South Queensferry
