HOW FUNERA SYDNEY EASES THE CERTIFIED DOCUMENT PROCESS AFTER A LOSS

The loss of a loved one is never easy, and the associated administrative tasks can feel overwhelming. At Funera Sydney, we understand the challenges you face during this time and are here to support you. Let us guide you through the process of obtaining and certifying crucial documents such as Wills and death certificates. Here's what you need to know:
GETTING A DEATH CERTIFICATE

In Australia, when a loved one passes away, their death must be registered with the office of Births, Deaths, and Marriages. Funera Sydney is your partner in applying for an official death certificate, which is essential for many aspects of estate management.
WHY A DEATH CERTIFICATE MATTERS

A death certificate is the key to unlocking the estate administration process, including handling the provisions of a Will (if one exists). It's also crucial for settling financial matters with banks and financial institutions, making insurance claims, and closing accounts.
THE NEED FOR CERTIFIED COPIES

Once you have the original death certificate, it's essential to obtain certified copies. These are verified duplicates of the original, required by government agencies, companies, and organizations as proof of the death. Funera Sydney recommends obtaining multiple certified copies as many entities won't return the documents after submission.
WHO CAN CERTIFY DOCUMENTS?

Funera Sydney can connect you with authorized professionals who can certify your photocopies. In Australia, these individuals may include health professionals, legal experts, elected government representatives, experienced public servants, bank officers, ministers of religion, and more. The certified copy will bear the stamp or writing, "Certified to be a true copy of the original seen by me," along with the certifier's signature, date, name, address, and qualifications.
STORING ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS SECURELY

After obtaining certified copies, Funera Sydney advises keeping the original documents safe. This ensures that you can make additional copies if needed in the future.
HANDLING THE ESTATE

Handling the estate of a departed loved one is undoubtedly challenging, but Funera Sydney is here to assist and support you throughout the process. Remember, this article is not legal advice, and for specific guidance on your personal or financial situation, it's advisable to consult with a legal professional.
GRIEF SUPPORT

In times of grief and bereavement, remember you don't have to face it alone. Reach out to friends, family, your GP, or organizations like the Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement for assistance. For immediate support, consider calling Lifeline at 13 11 14.
