What to do first

The death of a close relative or friend may be hard to come to terms with, whether you have known for some time that it was near, or whether it has been sudden and unexpected. Grieving is normal and natural and affects people differently. As well as dealing with your grief you are also faced with many things that need to be done.

The Bereavement Team will provide advice and assistance. They will provide you with information and support regarding viewing your loved one, if desired, the necessary administrative responsibilities and advice regarding funeral arrangements. They can also give you information on helping children through grief and give you information on specialist agencies.
