How is the family kept informed?

To avoid confusion and duplication of effort, in non-inquest cases all liaison with the bereaved family is made via the funeral directors appointed by the family. The funeral directors will have been told what the cause of death was and which Consultant Pathologist carried out the post-mortem examination. If relatives wish to speak to the pathologist, they may telephone 622595. In inquest cases, the Police notify the family as to the progress of their enquiries and the date and venue of the inquest.
