Bereavement Advice Centre

The Bereavement Advice Centre is a free helpline and website run by Co-op Legal Services. They help people with the practical steps after someone close has died.

They offer advice on:

• what to do when someone dies
• registering a death and telling others
• probate and legal steps
• death certificates and coroner’s inquests
• planning the funeral
• money and tax matters
• coping with grief
• planning ahead

They also help stop unwanted post being sent to the person who has died, which can help prevent identity theft.
