Does anyone know if it's possible to search deaths after 2005? I know that it's not possible on-line, but is it possible to do a search in a local registery?

I know my grandmother's details but I haven't found a death ref for her which leads me to believe that she's still alive or died after 2005.

The GRO website has the following information - "If the event for which you require a certificate has taken place in the last 18 months, you should contact the register office at which the details were recorded, or, in the case of a marriage, the register office, church or other religious building at which the details were recorded, as our central records may not have been updated." The indexes online at www.findmypast.com should give references for events up to 18 months ago.
On the same page http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/deaths/obtainingdeathcertificates/index.asp
you can search for details of local register offices
