Dealing with bereavement is never easy. As well as the impact
of loss and emotional upheaval, there is a complex process to go through,
involving registration, funeral arrangements, burial procedures, probate,
tax, financial affairs and administration. What to Do When Someone Dies
makes dealing with these formalities as straightforward and simple as
possible. By presenting different options in a clear and logical manner, it
allows you to make your own choices rather than being swept along by
events. It also advises on how long things take, practical considerations
you may encounter and the expenses you are likely to incur. Recognising
that what is desirable for some people may not be suitable for others, the
author considers alternatives to traditional funeral services, the
requirements of different religions and less formal arrangements to mark
the end of life.

'... a great practical help' -- Daily Telegraph
After a death, certain arrangements have to be completed. This guide supports readers through the process. It explains the necessary forms, the function of people the bereaved may encounter (such as hospital staff, registrar, coroner, minister and funeral director) and the likely costs. Whether burial or cremation is selected, the book shows how to choose from the options available and meet the wishes of the deceased at what can be a difficult time. It explains how to arrange a funeral without a funeral director, and outlines humanist and non-Christian burials. The book also covers how to register a death, the role of the coroner, help with funeral costs and how to claim state benefits, organ donation, woodland and "green" burials, organising your own funeral in advance and pre-payment plans and coping with bereavement and grief.
