After a Death
When someone dies, it can be difficult to know what needs to happen first. Alongside grief, there may be practical arrangements to make, people to contact and legal or financial matters to deal with. Some things need attention quite quickly, while others can wait.
The information in this section takes you through the main steps after a death, from what happens immediately afterwards and registering the death, to dealing with an estate, arranging a funeral and finding support for yourself and others.
