When life comes to a close in Denmark
Death certificate
When a person dies, a doctor writes a death certificate. If the death occurs at home, a relative must contact the doctor as soon as possible. The family receives the death certificate together with a death report which must be sent to the Registrar of the State Church. It is the Danish National Church* which registers all deaths, irrespective of the religion of the deceased or their family, on behalf of the state.
When a person dies, the probate court* is automatically informed and summons the immediate family a short time after death. Here, it is decided what will become of the deceased's possessions and personal effects.
