The first thing you will need to do is register the death and appoint a Funeral Director.

You might find the below helpful to consider before making any final decisions:

• Nominate a family member or friend to manage the arrangements.
• Would you like to know the date the Cremation will be taking place?
• Will your loved one be dressed in their own clothes or a coffin gown?
• Is there any jewellery that needs to be given back to the family?
• Have you any other special requests? Think about if you would like finger prints, or locks of hair and talk to your Funeral Director about them.
• Would you like the ashes to be returned to you, or scattered in the Gardens of Remembrance?
• Will you be holding a memorial service to celebrate the life of your loved one? Think about who you might ask to attend and where you might want to go.
