What is Mortascreen?

Independent estimates suggest that, on average, around 170,000 mailings are delivered every day – all addressed to people who are now dead.
The unique Mortascreen data file currently contains the name and address details of nearly 5 million deceased individuals. Over 40,000 records are collected each month, accounting for 80% of all deaths in the UK. This makes Mortascreen the largest file of its kind, with the most comprehensive collection of recent deaths.
