This page looks at what you need to do after a death occurs.

The experience of bereavement is one of the most severe traumas that one has to cope with in life.  This web page is designed to help anyone in the unfortunate position of coping with a death.

The information on these pages mostly relates to Scotland and procedures can be different in other parts of the United Kingdom.

I hope this site will help you to deal with a very difficult subject and supply you with important and helpful information.
