Bereavement Guide

We know just how difficult a time it can be when someone close to us dies.  The feelings of shock, sadness, loss and bewilderment can take over our lives.  It is also a time when there are so many things to be done, just when we feel least able to do them.

In the following pages you will find all of the information that you are likely to use in the next few weeks and months.  Suggesting what the first priorities are; explain how, when and where you register the death; offer help with arranging a funeral ceremony and sorting our the estate and provide lists of organisations and agencies you may need to contact, what is required by law and what your choices are within it.

The council are happy to provide this information as a paper guide, large print, braille, another language, on audio cassette, computer disk or by email.  Please telephone 01803 208888
