From 9 September 2024, there will no longer be a doctor's fee in England and Wales when arranging a funeral. This is because from this date, all deaths in England and Wales will be independently viewed, either by a relevant coroner or by a Medical Examiner and the cost will be met by the NHS.
A Medical Examiner is a specifically trained independent senior doctor who will scrutinise all deaths across a local area that do not fall under the coroner's jurisdiction. By providing a greater level of scrutiny over the cause of deaths; it is hoped that the introduction of Medical Examiners will make it less likely that unnatural causes of death will go unnoticed; that the number of deaths unnecessarily referred to the coroner will be reduced and that national data about causes of death will be captured with greater accuracy.
Medical Examiners, or Medical Examiner Officers, will also be available to meet with families, or their representatives, if they wish to discuss the cause of death.

Excellent service from start to finish. Would happily recommend.
Very professional and efficient, Paul kept in touch regularly and made the whole experience very easy in a difficult time. He also draped our fathers coffin with the RAF flag which was a lovely touch. The team met us at the crematorium and were kind and considerate to our wishes. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.
We understand how important it is to keep families informed and I'm pleased that our team did exactly that for you. I am glad that our staff went above and beyond to deliver the service you expected. Thank you for this positive recommendation, it is greatly appreciated.
A Very good caring and helpful understanding service at a very emotional time for us thank you.
We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience online with us. It helps other families in their time of need.
Cremation & arranging a funeral service are fortunately something that we have not had to do often, so the support we had from Crews & Son at this time was very well received. Freya led us through the entire process and was very approachable when we had follow up queries. If we had to leave a message, Freya was usually back to us within 30 minutes. We had a couple of requests that were probably not standard but these were handled without issue. On the day of the funeral, Paul and his team were excellent, he and his team were always there to help but always discrete and not really noticeable. And finally, the celebrant that Freya suggested created a wonderful service.
I am pleased that we provided the highest level of care and guidance for you and your family and I am glad that all of your wishes and requirements were carried out by the team as you had requested. It means a great deal when people take the time to share their experience and to highlight individuals in the team who have made a difference.
From the moment I called everyone I spoke with or saw was very understanding and guided me through the process very calmly and professionally. Special thanks to Paul and the lady who collected mum and huge thanks to Freya went above and beyond by making a special journey to the office at the weekend so I could collect the ashes. Wonderful service all the way.
Thank you for the kind comments posted on your online review, it is always good to hear that individual members of our team have provided a service to you to the best of their ability. Thank you for your 5* review.
