After a bereavement, you will probably have a lot of questions around practicalities – how do I register the death? What do I do with their possessions? What are the next steps? All these questions can be overwhelming, making it harder for you to feel you’re coping and understand what you need to do. It might be stressful to think about the practicalities now, but sorting out issues like registering the death and arranging the funeral will make things easier further down the line.

You can find information relating to practicalities on this website, including registering a death, the coroner and inquests. 

There are a number of organisations that can help and assist you in dealing with the practicalities.
