Thirteen day wait for death certificate delayed funeral

A deeply unsatisfactory experience. Following a sudden loss at home over a weekend, we expected to see the regular healthcare provider who had an established relationship with the patient. Instead, we faced an exceptionally lengthy delay of thirteen days before receiving the necessary documentation to proceed with death registration. The legal requirement to register a death within five days appeared not to apply in this instance, seemingly due to staff availability. This prolonged delay significantly impacted funeral arrangements, which took place nearly a month after the death. This situation was extremely frustrating and fell well short of expectations.
