Synopsis

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.
