Municipality of Zevenaar: registering a death

You can register the death yourself. You must do this in the municipality where your loved one died. Make an appointment with the municipality via https://www.zevenaar.nl/aangifte-van-overlijden

• As a surviving dependant, you receive the extract from the  death certificate and the verlof tot begraven of cremeren (permission for burial or cremation) immediately.
• Funeral homes should receive the extract and any other documents on the same working day or, at the latest, the next working day.
