Jennifer Ashe & Son Funeral Directors

Established in 2016 in memory of a dearly loved Mother and Grandmother Norma, to both Jennifer and John Ashe respectively, Jennifer Ashe and Son have gone from strength to strength in supporting and caring for families across the West Midlands and Staffordshire during difficult times of bereavement.

Luckily for many of us arranging a funeral for a loved one isn't something we have to do very often throughout our lifetime. However when we do sadly lose a loved one, this brings about many questions, the first being "what do we do first?" Grief can be a powerful emotion and the need to think clearly is often difficult to achieve.

Everyone is different and you'll react to the loss in a way that is unique to you. But support is available. You might find it helps to talk with someone outside your immediate family or to someone who has been through a similar experience. When you're grieving it's normal to feel disbelief, numbness, anger, physical and mental pain, guilt, depression and regret.

The loss of a loved one can be a huge strain, for some this strain is made harder if your finances are linked, you may have to apply for probate of your loved ones estate and this could incur inheritance tax, have an impact on pensions or other benefits you may be in receipt of.

With this in mind is is crucial that you seek the correct advice, your local Department of Social Security will be able to help and assist you with any benefit or pension related queries, it may be appropriate to seek legal advice as soon as you feel you are able to, free legal advise can be found at The Citizens Advice Bureau or it may be appropriate to engage with a legal professional such as your solicitor.
