Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care is a registered charity which relies on donations to provide our services to patients and their loved ones free of charge. To find out more please visit www.renniegrovepeace. org/donate
Introduction On behalf of Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care please accept our thoughts and condolences at this time. We are very aware how difficult and distressing it is coping after a death. We hope that the following information answers some of the questions you may have. Please feel you can contact us for any advice or help you may need while making the necessary arrangements.
When someone dies at the Hospice You will need to contact your chosen Funeral Director to inform them of the death. If you have not already informed the Hospice team we will need to know if there will be a burial or cremation and the name of the Funeral Director. Once the Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (MCCD) has been completed, it will be sent electronically to the Registration Office. A member of our team will contact you to confirm and to arrange a time for you to come in and collect any property or valuables. One of our nursing staff will be able to discuss any questions you may have during this time.
2
When someone dies at home Your GP should be contacted if it is during the day. If it is at night, a weekend or a bank holiday, the Out of Hours GP service should be contacted (this is usually accessed via your GP’s main telephone number). If death occurs in the early hours of the morning you may wish to wait until the GP surgery opens to contact the person’s own doctor. If a nurse is present at the time, they may offer to lay out the body (a carer or a family member may wish to assist). Alternatively, you may prefer your chosen Funeral Director to do this. We will continue to offer you support and a referral to our Bereavement Service if you wish. Medication It is the responsibility of the carer or family to return all medication to a local pharmacy for disposal. This should be carried out at your earliest convenience.
The Coroner In certain cases, such as death following an industrial related disease like Mesothelioma or if a death was sudden and unexpected, doctors must inform the Coroner. In some cases a post mortem may be required, followed by an inquest. You will be advised if the Coroner is to be notified.
3
Registering the death It is a legal requirement that the death be registered within five working days. This should be carried out by either: • A relative • Someone present at the time of death • Someone who will be arranging the funeral (should the person who has died be an overseas citizen, their embassy must be notified as soon as possible)
Registration Offices You may register the death at any Registration Office in Hertfordshire. Registration services are available in Watford, Stevenage, Hatfield, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Hertford, Cheshunt and Bishop’s Stortford. All visits are by appointment only. This is to ensure that you are seen promptly and to avoid a lengthy wait. You can book an appointment by calling 0300 1234 045. You can also book online at www.hertsdirect.org Please wait until you have been given the certificate of cause of death from the Hospice, or your GP, before booking an appointment with the Registrar, as you will need to take it with you.
What information will the Registrar require? • • • • • •
Date and place of death Full name of the deceased Any former names of the deceased Date and place of birth of the deceased Occupation of the deceased’s spouse or civil partner The address of the deceased
4
• If the deceased was still married or in a civil partnership, the date of birth of their spouse or civil partner • Whether the deceased was in receipt of a pension or benefits from public funds • If readily available, the Medical Card or the National Health Service Number Please take any documents to support the above information, but don’t worry if any are not available as the death registration can still proceed. The person registering the death should take proof of their own identity, i.e. passport, driving licence, utility bill.
What documents will the Registrar give me on completing the registration? The Registrar will issue you with a Green Form to take to the Funeral Director (in some cases this will have been issued by the Coroner) which gives permission for burial or cremation. You will also be given another form (BD8), which you should take or send to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in respect of the state pensions and benefits. You will be able to purchase standard death certificates. The fee for a death certificate ordered at the time of registration is currently £11.00 each. These are copies of the entry in the register, which you will need for a variety of purposes, such as: • administering the Will • claiming a pension • unlocking savings from the deceased’s accounts The number of certificates you require will vary according to how complicated the deceased person’s affairs were. 5
Tell Us Once service The Hertfordshire Registration Service offers this free service to reduce the number of local and central government departments that Hertfordshire residents have to notify following a bereavement. The service is optional but it will greatly reduce the number of departments you need to notify. During the death registration appointment, the Registrar will enter the information onto the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) system and give you a unique reference number along with contact details for the Department for Work and Pensions. You will then be able to access the Tell Us Once programme from home, either by phone or online. Tell Us Once can notify the following departments after you have registered a death: Adult services Electoral services Attendance Allowance Employment Support Allowance Blue Badge parking permit Housing Benefit Carer’s Allowance Incapacity Benefit Child Benefit Income Support Child Tax Credit Jobseeker’s Allowance Children’s services Library services Council housing Overseas Health Team Council tax Passport Service Council Tax Benefit Tax Help for Older People Disability Living Allowance Working Tax Credit Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency Tell Us Once will pass details to these departments on your behalf; the departments you have chosen to notify will contact you directly if they need any more information to process your notification. You can also inform local authority departments not included in Tell Us Once by completing a short form which the Registrar will hand to you before you leave the office. 6
Other people you should consider informing if relevant Banks/building societies Cancel appointments Car insurance Child/young person’s teacher Clubs Credit card companies Dentist DWP (form given by Registrar) Employer Inland Revenue (if self-employed) Insurance companies Landlord/Housing Mortgage Lender Newsagent/milkman Rental companies Residential/nursing home Social media sites (e.g. Facebook) Social Services (cancel care) Solicitor (if involved) Telephone/water/electricity TV licence
7
Stopping Junk Mail to the recently deceased If someone you know has died, the amount of unwanted marketing post being sent to them can be greatly reduced which helps to stop painful daily reminders. By registering with the free service www.stopmail.co.uk the names and addresses of the deceased are removed from mailing lists, stopping most advertising mail within as little as six weeks. If you cannot access the internet you can call 0808 168 9607, where you will be asked for very simple information that will take only a few minutes to complete. Alternatively, ask the bereavement team for a leaflet that can be returned in the post. This free of charge service provided by the Bereavement Support Network will actively reduce the unwanted marketing mail but also can help reduce the likelihood of identity theft following the death of someone close. The information is not used for any other purpose and you only have to complete this once. Additionally to Stop Mail a comparable service can also be accessed from the Bereavement Register or Deceased Preference Service if you would prefer to use them.

Arranging the funeral Before making plans, it is important to check whether any specific instructions were left, or if any funeral arrangements were made and paid for in advance. Many people choose to make their arrangements through a Funeral Director, however, some people consider an independent or familyorganised funeral to be more personal and less expensive.
Funeral Directors Funeral Directors can manage all or part of the funeral arrangements. They can give advice and provide support to help you make decisions. You will be able to view the body in the Chapel of Rest at the undertakers if you wish. This is often helpful in saying goodbye. If you have children or grandchildren you may have concerns about whether or not they should say goodbye in this way. Experience shows that children benefit from being consulted and encouraged to talk. The age of the child will influence how this is done. Visits to the undertakers can be easily arranged so no hasty decisions need be made. Funerals can be expensive, so please do not hesitate to mention your budget to the Funeral Director. To help you select a Funeral Director, please note that a licence to practice from the British Institute of Funeral Directors, or membership of a trade association, indicates that the individual or company should operate under a Good Code of Practice. If you are not satisfied, either with the costs you are being asked to pay or with the service provided, try to resolve it with the Funeral Director or service provider in question. If you cannot resolve the issue, contact the relevant trade association or obtain advice on how to proceed from your local Citizens Advice Bureau. 10
Different types of funeral The main requirements in England and Wales are that the death must be certified by a doctor or Coroner, registered with a Registrar of Births, Marriages and Deaths, and the body either buried or cremated. You do not need to have a ceremony, religious minister or Funeral Director unless you wish to. If you want a ceremony, this does not have to take place in a crematorium or place or worship unless this is your choice. Many services have a religious element, but Humanist or civil services are available for those who would prefer a funeral service without reference to a God or religion. Religious funeral A traditional service conducted by a minister of religion. The service can include music and readings that are not necessarily religious in nature. Please speak to your own or local minister about a religious funeral. Civil funeral Institute of Civil Funerals – www.iocf.org.uk 01480 861411 Family members choose the format of the funeral ceremony which will respect the wishes of the deceased person and can include as little or as much religious content as required. Humanist funeral British Humanist Association – www.humanism.org.uk 020 7324 3060 A Humanist funeral does not include any religious content but pays tribute to the life of the person who has died and reflects on their contribution to the world and to others. Environmentally friendly funeral Natural Death Centre – www.naturaldeath.org.uk 01962 712690 This can be held at a special woodland burial ground which is either consecrated or not. The funeral is complemented by the use of a coffin made from biodegradable materials. 11
Finances after someone dies Paying for the funeral Funeral costs are normally recoverable from the deceased’s estate, but the person organising the funeral will be responsible for paying the bill. It is advisable to check where the money will come from before making arrangements. Check if a pre-purchased funeral plan has been arranged. Contact the deceased’s bank or building society, where their funds are held, to inform them of the death. Many banks will release money to pay for funeral costs before probate is granted, but not all. They will need a copy of the Death Certificate; the Funeral Directors can send their account directly to the bank or you can send the account yourself to the bank for payment. Where payment for the funeral is an issue, you may be entitled to help with the costs. Contact the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on 0800 731 7898 to discuss your eligibility. There is a time limit for claiming bereavement benefits and a funeral grant. So it is important to contact them as soon as possible or within one month of the bereavement. Funeral grants have a maximum threshold and not everyone is given the full amount. It is essential to consider this when organising the funeral to prevent running up large costs. Where no one is able to pay for the funeral, the local authority may help - but you must contact them before the funeral has been arranged. Choice is restricted in these cases. Your Funeral Director should be able to advise you.
12
Change in circumstances and benefits If you were receiving Carer’s Benefit prior to the bereavement this will continue for six weeks after the death of the person you were caring for. Check that Council Tax Benefit and Housing Benefit are in your name, if not these may need to be reapplied for. If your spouse/partner or you were on state benefits before the bereavement, or if you are now on a low income you may need this reviewed. If you have children and are working, available benefits will depend on your income and the age of the children. If you are unable to work or are unemployed you may be eligible for increased benefits. You may also be eligible for a bereavement payment or support. If you are under pension age: If you are a parent and any of the following benefits are in the deceased’s name these will have to be changed or reapplied for. • Child Benefit (HMRC 0300 200 3100) • Child Tax Credit or Working Tax Credit (HMRC 0345 300 3900) If you are over pension age: If your spouse/partner dies then you may need a benefits review, particularly if you are now living alone. A review is recommended as not all benefits are means tested. • Contact the DWP bereavement line on 0800 731 0469 for advice. • www.gov.uk has excellent advice on all benefits. Or contact your local Citizen’s Advice Bureau for support in finding out what is available and how to apply.
13
Solicitors, Wills and legal matters Probate (administration of an estate) This is the legal process for the distribution of the deceased’s estate (money, property etc.) You need to establish if the deceased had made a Will. This may be found at their bank, solicitor, home, with family or a friend. When a Will is in place: The Will may include funeral wishes, wishes regarding the deceased’s estate and the name of the executor/s or the person/s legally entitled to deal with the estate. The executor/s is/are legally responsible for administrating the estate according to the wishes in the Will. If the Will is with a solicitor, they should be informed of the death. Named executors can administer the person’s estate on their own -information on how to do this can be found at www.gov.uk, or they may prefer to get help from a solicitor. When there is no Will in place: When someone dies without making a Will, they are said to have died intestate and different rules apply. When this happens the law sets out who should deal with the person’s affairs and who benefits. Further information on this can be found at www.gov.uk. This website also gives a step by step guide on how to proceed if you want to administer the estate yourself, but you may prefer to involve a solicitor to help you through the process.

Coping with grief Grief is a normal reaction to any major loss. When someone dies there will be many practical things that need to be done. This can mean that you only start to grieve once these things are completed and the people around you begin to return to their everyday lives. It can be hard to accept the death and we may feel overwhelmed and confused by our emotions. Part of the grieving process is trying to make sense of something that may seem senseless. We all grieve in our own way. For instance, grief may catch us by surprise and we might suddenly be overcome by emotion. We may also feel anger or regret for things that we could have done differently. There may be feelings of depression, decreased appetite, tiredness without being able to sleep and being unable to concentrate. Small tasks or problems may cause us to feel panicky. We may also think that we hear or see a loved one, even though we know that they have died. We may feel numb and unable to cry, or experience a sense of relief. These are all normal reactions when someone dies. If you have spent time caring for the person who has died, you may also feel the loss of your caring role. You may feel alone because the relationships you built with different healthcare professionals have ended. You may have lost contact with friends whilst caring for your loved one. If you would like to find out how Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care can support you, including counselling sessions and joining any of our Outpatient Services groups, please call our Counselling & Bereavement Team on: 01923 330 332, or, email: phc.counselling@nhs.net.

What can you do to help yourself? • Remember there is no right or wrong way to grieve – everyone is different • Try not to feel pressurised by others – do what feels right and comfortable for you • Allow yourself to laugh, cry or feel angry – someone you love has died and that is painful • Take care of yourself and pay attention to your own health • Talk about the person who has died and your experiences. This can help you start to make sense of what is happening to you • Try to let people know how they can best help you. They may really want to support you but be afraid of doing the wrong thing • Don’t be afraid to seek help either from our Bereavement Service or your GP if you find that you are not coping. Help is available at any stage of grief, whenever you feel you would benefit from it

Support for children and young people Supporting children at this time can feel daunting, particularly if you are struggling with your own grief. However, there are some simple ways which can make a real difference to you and to a grieving child. • Make sure you have enough support for yourself • Make sure that the nursery/school/college is aware of what has happened, as they may be able to offer support Children 0-11 years • Try to continue with regular activities as far as possible. This can help children feel secure • Children often see-saw in and out of grief, needing time to have fun as well as be sad • Talk to the children using simple straightforward language • Give the children as much information as they ask for • Answer questions about death as honestly as you can • Encourage children to talk about how they are feeling • Children often need help retaining their memories – share memories and stories with them • It is ok for your child to know that you are feeling sad Children’s understanding of illness and death will vary according to their age and development. However, they will all need to come to some understanding about what has happened. With support and information, children and young people can be helped and can slowly learn to live with their loss.
19
Young people 12 years + • Bereaved teenagers and young people often don’t want to talk to parents, preferring to talk to friends • They may need to grieve privately and be reluctant to display feelings openly • They may take their lead from the way the adults around them behave • Boys may channel their feelings into aggressive behaviour • Girls may be more likely to talk and cry with friends • Both boys and girls may show worrying risk-taking behaviour Try to provide firm but flexible boundaries. If you are concerned contact your GP or other professional agencies.
