What to do
When Someone Dies
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. This fully revised edition of "What to Do
When Someone Dies" makes dealing with the 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 each stage takes, practical considerations
you may encounter and the expenses you are likely to incur. Recognising that
people are different, and that what is desirable for some may not be suitable
for others, "What to Do When Someone Dies" provides a range of alternatives to
traditional funeral services. The requirements of different religions are
detailed as well as less formal arrangements to mark the end of life. This new
edition provides the latest information on arranging a cremation and legislative
changes to death certificates. It is also packed with advice on: how to register
a death; notifying relevant parties; making funeral arrangements; applying for
probate; and, sorting out tax, property and other financial matters.
