Next of kin’s ID smartcard or green barcoded ID book
It is important that you locate the deceased’s next of kin’s identity document as soon as possible. This will be necessary for any insurance or funeral policies that might have been made out in their name. If you are the funeral organiser for the family, you should ask for certified copies of the document and make sure you have enough copies for all eventualities. This might also be a good time to remind everyone to make copies of their ID’s for their own families in the event of an unexpected death in the family.
