What to do when someone dies

What to do when someone dies

It’s perfectly normal to be unsure of what you need to do following the death of a loved one. These step-by-step guides will carefully explain everything you need to when someone dies, helping you through each stage of the process.

Frequently asked questions

When someone dies, the first steps will depend on how and where the person passed away. Our step-by-step guides will walk you through the practical steps. For additional support and personal advice, please get in touch with us.

You don't have to make an appointment at our funeral homes. However, doing so will ensure that someone can be available to cater to your needs. When arranging a funeral, our Funeral Directors are happy to visit you in your own home, if required.

Third party funeral costs are additional charges which we will manage for you and attach to your single invoice. Get in touch with us to confirm costs and plan a funeral to fit your budget.

If you choose to arrange the funeral with us, you will be given the option of a complimentary Funeral Notice. We will set it up for you using the details discussed during the arrangements. All we need is an email address.

Dignity Funeral Plans let you pay for your funeral in advance and at today's price. It's a way of taking control of the unexpected, setting out the arrangements and limiting the costs by paying for the services included in the funeral plan upfront.

From 9 September 2024, there will no longer be a doctor's fee in England and Wales when arranging a funeral. This is because from this date, all deaths in England and Wales will be independently viewed, either by a relevant coroner or by a Medical Examiner and the cost will be met by the NHS.

A Medical Examiner is a specifically trained independent senior doctor who will scrutinise all deaths across a local area that do not fall under the coroner's jurisdiction. By providing a greater level of scrutiny over the cause of deaths; it is hoped that the introduction of Medical Examiners will make it less likely that unnatural causes of death will go unnoticed; that the number of deaths unnecessarily referred to the coroner will be reduced and that national data about causes of death will be captured with greater accuracy.

Medical Examiners, or Medical Examiner Officers, will also be available to meet with families, or their representatives, if they wish to discuss the cause of death.

I just wanted to say how lovely Deirdre Coward at the Lower Clapton Road branch was to us. When losing my Mum left my Dad, Sister & me having to deal with the worst possible thing, her funeral. Deirdre was kind, compassionate & very helpful. She gave good honest advice, she really is very good at what she does. She made the whole horrible, traumatic experience, bearable. The team on the actual day were excellent too we have no complaints only praise. Thank you x

Given that loosing a close relative can be dry difficult I found Deirdre at the Clapton branch very sensitive, professional and thorough throughout the whole process of getting our love done laid to rest.

I am impressed enough to recommend your services to other family members.

I highly recommend W. English & Sons (G.R Moss). My dad started a funeral plan many years ago and we were so well taken care of after his passing that I myself have now started my own 5 year plan. My dad passed away at home and from that day until the day he was buried the service was very good. All the staff were very thoughtful and the funeral director on the day was on top of everything which meant me and my family didn't have to worry about anything at all. Thank you Deirdre and Slavek 🙏
