Dealing with Death, Funerals, Wills and Bereavement: What to Do When Someone Dies - A Practical Guide Roger Jones
When my father died, we didn't have a clue what to do. How many others find themselves in a similar predicament when someone close to them dies? Because death is something we prefer not to discuss, even when it is imminent, most of us are totally unprepared to deal with it when it happens. Who should take charge when someone dies? Who needs to be informed of the death? How do you set about arranging the funeral? What role does the undertaker play? What happens to the deceased's property and other assets? Do you know the answers to all these questions? Eventually you will find out, but how much better it would be if you have a clearer idea of what to expect before it happens. At an already difficult and stressful time, you will be able to handle the process and make decisions with greater confidence and clarity if you are at least prepared for the practicalities surrounding your loss.
