Forms for Cremation
All of the forms can be downloaded for completion online and signed digitally. Alternatively, you may wish to print them and complete them by hand. Completed forms must be returned to Rushcliffe Oaks at least three working days prior to the date of the service.
For a standard cremation we will need:
- a copy of our Instruction Form
- a Cremation Form 1 - Application for the cremation of the body of a person who has died
- and a Certificate for Burial and Cremation from the Registrars (known as the green form).
If a Coroner's post-mortem or inquest has been held, they will issue a Coroner's Certificate (Cremation Form 6) in place of the green form.
If a hazardous implant is identified as present on Form 1, Form 6, or the green form, we will also need to receive a confirmatory declaration that this has been removed. A form for this is available at the bottom of this page. A non-exhaustive list of hazardous implants can be found near the end of the government's advice for medical practitioners on the .gov.uk website.
Forms for other cremations are available here.
Cremation Form 2 - Application for the cremation of body parts to be accompanied by:
- a copy of our Instruction Form;
- and the Certificate releasing body parts for cremation from the hospital (Cremation Form 8).
Cremation Form 3 - Application for the cremation of a stillborn baby to be accompanied by:
- a copy of our Instruction Form;
- the Certificate for Burial or Cremation from the Registrars (white form);
- and the Certificate of Stillbirth from the midwife/medical practitioner (Cremation Form 9).
For a NVF cremation, the same forms as those for a stillbirth should be used, except there will be no Registrars' white form. In this case though, the Cremation Form 3 and the Certificate of Stillbirth will be for information only, rather than a statutory requirement.
For a service only booking, we will only need a Rushcliffe Oaks Instruction Form, filled in for just the relevant parts.
Forms can be returned by:
- email to – info@rushcliffeoaks.co.uk
- post to – Rushcliffe Oaks, Main Road, Stragglethorpe, Nottingham, NG12 2PY
- or in person to the Crematorium Office.
