We recognise the many difficulties you face at this time. The following information provides guidance about what to do after a bereavement.

You will need to make an appointment to register a death.

Bereavement support

This  webpage lists organisations that offer help and advice to those dealing with bereavement.

Funeral arrangements

After registering the death, you can  yourself if you wish.

Probate

Corresponding with organisations

When you manage the affairs of someone who has died, you may need to correspond with many organisations.

Our Tell Us Once service will assist you with notifying many departments and services on our list so you will not need to contact them again. You will be registered for this service at your appointment by our Registrar.
