What to Do Following a Death

What to Do Following a Death Kit will help you cope with the practical and emotional issues after the death of a loved one. 

It covers funeral arrangements, probate, intestacy and legal matters in a simple to follow way, and offers practical advice on emotional matters.

Losing a loved one is a painful experience. And just when you feel at your weakest there are so many practical things to take care of.

Cruse Bereavement Care have years of experience in helping people cope emotionally and practically after a death of a loved one. They know how dealing with the practicalities after a death can seem so overwhelming. When you are bereaved and emotionally raw, the last thing you want to think about are the procedures you need to follow after a death and many people just don't know where to start.

The What to Do Following a Death Kit has been written by Cruse to help you.
It gives you advice on what steps need to be taken, and by whom, after someone dies.

Written by Cruse Bereavement Care, the UK's leading bereavement charity, it tells you how to:

• understand the emotions of bereavement after a death
• register the death
• organise the funeral, whether it is burial or cremation
• use the services of a funeral director
• probate, and how to deal with your loved one's finances and property
• how you can apply for bereavement state benefits and payments

In addition to dealing with the practicalities, they sensitively provide help on the emotional side of coping with the loss of a loved one.
