Who provides the statistical data about the deceased during a funeral arrangement?

The informant is responsible for providing the statistical data about the deceased during a funeral arrangement. This individual is typically a family member or close friend of the deceased and provides essential information needed for the death certificate and other legal documents. This information includes details like the deceased's full name, date of birth, date of death, and other pertinent statistics that are crucial for accurate record-keeping and compliance with legal requirements.

While the funeral director and practitioner play significant roles in the arrangement process, they often rely on the informant's knowledge of the deceased’s personal data. The chaplain may offer spiritual support and guidance but is not generally the source of statistical information regarding the deceased.
