That’s why the team at Keith Logue & Sons takes care of the entire death registration process for you with speed, precision and compassion.
Practical Help, Delivered With Care and Dignity
We Take Care of What’s Legally Required
In New South Wales, registering a death is a legal requirement under the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act, and it must be done within seven days of the burial or cremation. While this process can feel overwhelming, our team is here to ease the load.
While we’re helping you arrange the funeral, we’ll gather the necessary details and complete the full death certificate application online, eliminating the need for you to call government agencies and risk potential errors. Once the registration is processed, we’ll provide you with an official certified copy of the death certificate, which is often needed for handling financial, legal and estate matters.

Understanding Death Registration in NSW
We’ve compiled some of the most common queries regarding death registration in New South Wales to provide clarity and reassurance during this sensitive time. Review the answers below or contact our team for personalised support.
What is the death certificate used for?
It’s an essential legal document that’s often required when finalising an estate to distribute assets, accessing superannuation benefits for eligible beneficiaries, updating crucial banking details, and formally notifying various institutions of the passing. It may also be needed in other situations, such as cancelling a flight and requesting a refund, particularly when tickets are normally non-refundable and the airline requests proof of death. Having this official certificate readily available makes the often complex process of managing your loved one’s affairs significantly more streamlined.
How long does it take to get a death certificate?
It typically takes two to three weeks to get a certification of death. However, if the death is unexpected and requires further investigation, then the timeframe may be extended.
What’s in the checklist and booklet you provide?
It’s a comprehensive guide covering which parties to notify, what paperwork to gather, and how to take the next steps before and after the funeral. Many families find it incredibly helpful for navigating the days and weeks that follow.
A Stress-Free, Legally Sound Process
