Services
We appreciate that it may be difficult or too soon for you to make decisions or simply take in information in the early stages of bereavement. Should you require any further information or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us on 0115 9325469. If the death occurs while the person is in their home you should first telephone the medical practice of the person who has passed away.
A death should normally be registered within 5 days. You will first need to contact the deceased's GP or the Bereavement Office at the hospital for an appointment to collect the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death. You will then be able to contact the Register Office in the district where death occurred to make an appointment to register the death.
If the death was sudden, unexpected or if the deceased had not seen the doctor in the last 14 days, the death could be referred to the Coroner. In some cases the GP or hospital doctor may be granted permission by the Coroner to issue the death certificate and the Coroner may decide that a post mortem is necessary to establish a cause of death.
When you register the death the registrar will advise if the service is available in your area. The Registrar will give you a phone number and a unique reference number to use the 'Tell Us Once' service online or by telephone. The name, address and contact details of the person or company dealing with their estate i.e. the executor or administrator.
Funeral plans are tax efficient and an excellent way to protect your family from the emotional and financial stress that losing a loved one brings. The Perfect Choice pre-arranged funeral plan is a simple and straightforward way of removing this worry and can provide real peace of mind for you and your family.

I cannot recommend this business and staff highly enough. Over the past few years have used them on 3 occasions. Each time l have made unusual requests and demands on them. Each time they have surpassed my expectations. This is not easy as l live in New Zealand. A bugler to play the Last Post for my soldier Dad. A farewell to my brother during covid restrictions, their expertise allowed me time to return to the UK and farewell him as he deserved. Sorry this is a bit long winded, but these guys deserve more than a few lines. Thank you. Thank you Thank you

My brother Paul suddenly passed away on April 15th . We used GT Edwards based on previous recommendation, and from start to finish they was fantastic. Having never planned or organised a funeral they was on hand at every stage to help at such an emotional point in our lives.
Our point of contact was Andy who , through the whole process remained incredibly professional and helpful. We simply could not have done it without him.
Loosing my brother so suddenly was an incredible shock for us, but they made the final process of our final goodbyes totally seamless.
For that we will be eternally grateful

We had to call Edward and his team after our wonderful father died suddenly in February. Edwards were amazing during this very sad time, and nothing was too much trouble for them and we couldn’t recommend them more.
Edward knew my father loved his fast cars and made sure his last journey on the way to Markeaton was one he would remember, doing 70 mph down the A38! They made sure that everything was as personal as it could be and the wishes of our family was what mattered most.
With our deepest heartfelt thanks for making a very sad time the best it could be
