Inquests

You can view the current inquests due to be held by the Bedfordshire and Luton Coroner Service in the table below.

How to search for information

You will need to add in a date range to view inquests. For example, the enquiry from date could be today's date and the enquiry to date could be 31/12/2023. Once you do that, you can view inquests in that date range. You can then also search by surname.
