Notice to the Profession
Government now accepts electronic signatures on all forms
Electronic signatures are now acceptable to the government on all forms submitted in application of a burial permit, notably the Statement of Death Form 15 and the Medical Certificate of Death Form 16.
Funeral Directors are also permitted to sign as informants on Form 15.
Please see the memo from the Registrar General.
(FYI – We have not included the sample MCOD, as this is not something you will have to fill out, of course.)
