How to order

You can order copy documents if:

the death occurred in Buckinghamshire
the death was dealt with by the Buckinghamshire Coroner’s Office
you're an 'interested person' or a 'proper person' in the case

An interested person is:

parent, spouse, civil partner, partner, grandparent, grandchild, child of a brother or sister, stepfather, stepmother and half-brother or half- sister
any personal representative, any beneficiary under a policy on the life of the deceased or the insurer who issued the policy
any person or organisation whose act or omission, or that of his servant or agent, may have caused or contributed to the death
trade union representative. If the death is by injury in the course of employment or from an industrial disease
in certain cases, the representative of an enforcing authority or government department. Also a chief constable and the Independent Police Complaints Commission
some other person or organisation who, during the investigation, in the opinion of the senior coroner had sufficient interest

If you do not believe you're an interested person, you may apply to the senior coroner to be considered a proper person. You'll then be entitled to have possession of a particular document or record. It'll be at the senior coroner’s discretion, on a case-by-case basis, whether your application is accepted.
