The death of a loved one: you have to arrange this as a Zoetermeerder

Declaration of death

If a loved one dies, you must register the death with the municipality where that person died. Some funeral directors do this on your behalf, but are not obliged to do so. You can also arrange it yourself at the municipality in Zoetermeer.

You must have registered the death within six days after the death an appointment online

Statement from a doctor

In order to register a death, you need a statement from a doctor. You will almost always receive this from the attending physician, who has also confirmed the death. This can be a doctor from the LangeLand Hospital, but also a general practitioner. Has a loved one suddenly died at home? Then a doctor must visit.

As soon as your death registration has been confirmed by the municipality of Zoetermeer, the municipality will draw up a death certificate. It is wise to request this deed, because you will need it later.
