How interesting. Might the deceased have been found dead and had no relatives willing to register the death, therefore it was registered by the local authority who also paid for the burial?

That's intriguing Anniebach.

Maybe it was an undertaker?

I am puzzled by an entry in a death certificate.

I have many death certificates but one from 1928 naming the
informant is different to all others, it’s usually a relative or someone present at the death.

This certificate gives a surname, initials no christian names and
‘Causing the body to be buried’

Can someone give a possible explanation please ?
