Oslo - Death overseas

If someone in your family or close to you should die, call an ambulance (Tel: 113) or a doctor, who will issue a death certificate (dødsattest). If a death occurs in hospital, the staff will help you with the necessary paperwork. The passport of the dead person needs to be sent to the appropriate embassy and they will register the death (a fee is charged for the paperwork). The embassy can also recommend funeral directors and they can be of help if the body is to be sent home. Funeral directors (begravelsesbyrå) can be of assistance with everything that has to be arranged when someone dies. A death notice (dødsannonse) and an obituary (nekrolog) can be put in the local newspaper (Aftenposten or Asker & Bærum Budstikke).
