In Scotland when a person dies their death should be registered with the registrar of Births and Deaths. They will issue an Order of Burial or cremation which is a green form. This can then be given to the Funeral Director or sent to the Crematorium.

The statutory forms for cremation are numbered 1-10 and these can be obtained from either the funeral director or crematorium.

Form 1 - application for cremation to be filled in by next of kin.

Form 4 - completed by the doctor looking after deceased and completed the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death.

Form 5 - completed by a doctor not looking after deceased.

There is a fee charged for these.

Form 6 - certificate issued by the coroner if there has been a post mortem.

Form 10- authorisation of the cremation by an independent doctor at the crematorium.

In Scotland for a cremation the Certificate of Registration of Death, issued by the Registrar will also need to be provided. In addition to the application for cremation and two cremation certificates signed by two doctors as above a third crematorium certificate is required signed by the medical referee at the crematorium.

When a person dies do their bones and organs get took out before getting buried?

Normally no, however in ancient Egypt the mummification process required removal of the organs (which were placed in separate canopic jars) but not the bones. In modern times if a person (and the family agree) has indicated that they wish their organs/bones to be donated to others, then these can be removed before burial. Normally however dead people are buried or cremated intact.

When a person that has MRSA is cremated is the virus killed?

Yes, when a person infected with MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is cremated, the high temperatures during the cremation process effectively kill the bacteria. The intense heat reaches levels that destroy microorganisms, including MRSA. Therefore, there is no risk of transmission or infection from the cremated remains.
