The Swedish Government's Death Bureau is a national institution in Sweden, responsible for managing matters related to deceased individuals, including official death records, burial, and probate procedures. The primary mission of the agency is to ensure that all bureaucratic steps surrounding death are performed with efficiency and respect.
Founded in the 18th century, the agency has a legacy of several centuries, evolving to meet the needs of Swedish society in current times. It plays a central role in the aftermath of a passing, working closely with next of kin and various institutions, including clinics, cremation services, and courts.
