Local help before and after a death

Start with your area guide for registration contacts and local practical information. Coverage varies while we update the guides; some entries lead directly to official council information.

  • Someone has died: find information about the first steps, who can register the death, what to take and where to contact the Register Office.
  • Arranging a funeral: explore the local information available about funeral services, cemeteries, crematoria, faith and belief contacts and bereavement support.
  • Planning ahead: use the guides to explore local choices and record the contacts and wishes your family may need.

For more help, see our free guides, finding or claiming on a funeral plan and registering a death abroad.
