The registrar requires the medical certificate and basic information about the deceased. They'll issue the certificate for burial or cremation and can help with notifying other organisations.

Which crematoriums are in Gateshead?

Gateshead is close to Saltwell Crematorium. On Saltwell Road South adjacent to Saltwell Park, the crematorium features a chapel with memorial gardens. Each has its own character and we can describe the differences to help you decide which feels right for your family.

What is a direct cremation?

With direct cremation, the crematorium arranges the cremation without a ceremony. It's the most affordable way to arrange a funeral. Families often choose it when their loved one wanted simplicity, or when they prefer to organise their own memorial separately.

What help is available if I'm struggling with funeral costs?

The Funeral Expenses Payment helps people on benefits with funeral costs. It can cover cremation fees and up to £1,000 towards other expenses. Contact 0800 151 2012 to apply. For children's funerals, the Children's Funeral Fund covers costs regardless of income.

Can I arrange a funeral without a funeral director?

A funeral director isn't compulsory. Some families choose to arrange funerals themselves, managing transport, storage, paperwork, and ceremonies independently. If you're interested in this option, your local council can explain what's needed.
