Forms For Cremation

Cremation paperwork and downloadable application forms for Baldarroch

Cremation forms

The Cremation (Scotland) Regulations 2019 came into effect on 4 April 2019. As part of these regulations, the previous two-page Form A was replaced by the seven Form A applications listed below.

All services where the cremation is to be conducted at Baldarroch must be supported by the correct paperwork. The only exception is for memorial services, where the coffin is being removed from the chapel for burial, or where a cremation has already taken place at Baldarroch or another crematorium. In these cases, only the Baldarroch Memorial Service Application Form is required.

Your funeral director will usually advise which forms are needed and help manage the process. If you are unsure, please contact us and we will be happy to help.

Paperwork required

For a cremation at Baldarroch, the following documentation will normally be required:

  • The relevant Form A
  • Baldarroch Chapel & Crematorium Supplementary Application Form
  • Form 14 – Certificate of Registration of Death
  • E(1) – Procurator Fiscal’s Certificate, if applicable
  • For deaths outside Scotland, other paperwork may be required. Details can be found on the relevant Form A.
