    Brief

    Worcestershire County Council seeks qualified service providers to handle the removal and transportation of deceased individuals from death scenes to mortuary facilities. This service supports the Coroner's Office in cases where deaths are sudden, traumatic, unnatural, or require investigation. The service primarily applies to community deaths (as hospital deaths typically have established procedures) and encompasses all cases referred to the Coroner where the cause of death is not considered natural. Service providers should be experienced in respectful body handling, secure transportation, and coordination with law enforcement and medical examiner offices. This is an essential public health and investigative support service.
