Part 5 Inspection of certificates
You are entitled to inspect the certificates (if any) given by doctors under regulation 16(1)(c)(i) of the
Cremation (England and Wales) Regulations 2008 (forms Cremation 4 and Cremation 5). If you do
not wish to inspect any such certificates yourself you may nominate another person to inspect them
instead of you.

to inspect the certificates. If you, or the person nominated by you, do not attend to inspect the
certificates at the time agreed with the cremation authority, the cremation may then proceed.
Please state if you would like to inspect the certificates given by the doctors or whether you would like
to nominate someone else to do so instead and give a contact telephone number.
