Apply for a post-mortem

If you're unsure of what caused the death abroad (for example, the medical certificate does not make this clear) you may be able to apply for a post-mortem.

If you'd like to discuss this, email the Death Certification Review Service at his.dcrs@nhs.scot or phone 0300 123 1898.
