The work of a Coroner is demanding but endlessly interesting. Each coroner investigation is a new story - a story about a life, a death and friends and family left behind. Coroners have two main purposes in investigating deaths: to explain the unexplained, both for the benefit of the family and for the public at large; and to report, where appropriate, with a view to preventing future deaths. The Coroner Office is a public service, ensuring that bereaved families are at its heart.
