What To Do When Someone Dies
When someone dies, it’s never an easy time. At Thomas Furber & Co., funeral directors, we are here to help you take the necessary steps. This begins with some practical tasks to confirm and register the death, and choosing a funeral director to help you through this difficult time.
What To Do First When Someone Dies
After the death of a loved one, the first step to be taken immediately after the death is to confirm and then register the death. Then you will need to choose a funeral director who will take your loved one to their funeral home and care for them whilst the funeral is being arranged.
Someone Has Died – What Do I Do First?
This is likely to be a very upsetting and distressing time for you.
The first thing you need to do is notify the relevant people and have the death confirmed.
The initial steps you will need to take will vary depending on where the death occurred. We are here to help you through this.
Choose A Funeral Director
When you are ready, you should contact a funeral director to arrange for your loved one to be collected and taken to the funeral home to be cared for until the day of the funeral.
At Thomas Furber & Co., we will look after your loved one as if they are a member of our own family. We will also help and guide you through this difficult time to arrange the funeral.
Registering The Death
Registering the death of a loved one is a necessary step to take after the death has been confirmed.
In England, the death must be registered within five days. We explain what needs to be done, where you need to go, what happens, and what documentation you will need to take with you.
