Mark a Person Record as Deceased

All records when created are marked as active.

However, to differentiate between a record representing a deceased person and a person currently living, byondpro allows users to mark the record as deceased.

A Burial or Cremation Sales & Booking cannot be completed without the Reference Contact record marked as deceased.

To mark the person record as deceased, click on the Change Status to Deceased button on the right-hand side of the page.

The following screen will display. Complete the fields.

Status is a drop-down field where the option Deceased should be populated.

Date of Birth should auto-populate from the record if it has already been captured and is editable. Alternatively, the date can be added here.

Date of Death will auto-populate if entered in the record already. Otherwise, this can be typed in.

Age will calculate once date of birth and date of death are entered.

As a reminder, this displays as YY.MM

i.e. if 33.02, the person is 33 years and two months.

Once all fields are populated, click Save on the right-hand side of the screen.

The Status will now display as deceased.
