Cremation (Scotland) regulations 1935 (as amended) Form B--certificate of medical attendant Form C--confirmatory medical certificate.
It is important that doctors completing Forms B and C are fully aware of their statutory duties and responsibilities as laid down in the relevant cremation regulations. These forms should only be completed when the doctors concerned are confident that the information they are providing is true and accurate and that they have no reasonable cause to suspect that the decreased died either a violent or an unnatural death, or a sudden death of which the cause is unknown, or died in such a place or circumstances as to make further inquiry desirable before cremation. It should also be noted that medical referees have the statutory right to reject forms which are incomplete, or improperly completed.
