eLys - A digital future for the Declaration of death

Within the framework of the revival project Gemeente zonder gemeentehuis, eight local authorities have taken the initiative for a digitalization project concerning death registration.

Athumi, which has been involved in this project since its inception, will be responsible for the building, maintenance, and further development of the platform.

New Digital Platform

Thanks to the new digital platform, the process of reporting deaths will now be entirely digital:

The physician who confirms the death will use a user-friendly and secure web application instead of paper forms. Local authorities will receive the necessary information for the death certificate immediately and digitally. The funeral director will also communicate through the platform and thus receive permission for burial or cremation.

This digitalization will result in significant time savings and relieve all parties involved, both public and private."

Building blocks of the platform

• Digital registration of the confirmation of death by a physician.
• Administrative processing of the funeral by the municipality and funeral director.
• Automatic and digital data transfer to crematoria and cemeteries.
• Automatic dataflow for death statistics.
