In most cases you will need to register the death within five days and it is best to visit the Register Office in the area in which the person died. This can help avoid delays getting the necessary documents. If the Coroner is involved you will be advised when to register the death. I can advise you on the procedure for registering a death.
Once you have entrusted the deceased to my care i will look after them with respect and sensitivity. They will rest with me at my premise until the day of the funeral or, if you prefer, they can rest at home or in church, if this is allowed. I will carry out your wishes carefully and respectfully but, if you would like to help us look after your loved one, please let us know.
You may wish to tell people about the death and the details of the funeral by putting an announcement in a newspaper whether local or national. I can help you with drafting and sending a death announcement to a newspaper. I can also assist after the funeral with placing a message in the newspaper to thank those who attended and sent flowers or donations.

You will also need to decide where the service will be held, this may be at a church or place of worship, at a crematorium, at the graveside or somewhere else. In the case of cremation there can be a service at a church combined with a shorter service at the crematorium chapel.
