VPRS 15809 Registrar's Certificates of Deaths for Undertakers

When the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages registered a death, a 'registration of death' form was completed and forwarded to the undertaker responsible for burying the body. This was a requirement of section 17 of the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages Acts 1915 and 1928. The format of the form was prescribed in the seventh schedule to those Acts.After the burial the undertaker completed a certificate of burial and returned it to the Registrar as required by section 18 of the two Acts. The format of the certificate was prescribed in schedule nine to the two Acts.

当出生、死亡及婚姻登记官（Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages）登记死亡事件时，需填写“死亡登记表格”并转交负责遗体安葬的殡葬承办人。该操作是1915年及1928年《出生、死亡及婚姻登记法》（Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages Acts）第17条规定的义务。该表格的格式由上述法案的第七附表予以明确。安葬完成后，殡葬承办人需填写殡葬证明，并依据上述两部法案第18条的要求将证明交回登记官。该证明的格式由上述法案的第九附表予以规定。
