For deaths occurring in the Town of Kirkland Lake, a funeral director usually prepares the Statement of Death (Form 15) which includes information about the deceased.
The physician or coroner present at the time of death also completes the Medical Certificate of Death (Form 16) containing information on the cause of death.
The funeral director forwards both forms to the Town Division Registrar (Town Clerk, or designate). Once recorded by the Town, forms are sent to the
Office of the Registrar General (Thunder Bay, ON) for registration.
Any information regarding deaths, including copies of forms, must be obtained directly from the
Office of the Registrar General, not the Town.
You can obtain a Death Certificate Application from
Service Ontario, or by downloading the
Request for Death Certificate Form from their website.
Contact the
Clerk’s Office for more details about the Town's Death Registration process.
