Bringing the deceased into our care

Bringing the deceased into our care

We can arrange for the person who has died to be brought home or to be taken into our care and are on hand to provide support and help throughout this difficult time.

We are contactable at any time of the day or night, everyday of the year, when our experienced staff will be on-hand to support and assist you.

• We will ask for some personal details of the person who has died.
• We will ask for some personal details of the next of kin
  
• We will need to know where you would like the deceased to rest before the funeral. This can either be at our funeral home or your home if it is practical and appropriate to do so. If you choose anywhere other than our funeral home, we recommend that you allow us to bring the deceased into our care and then return them once all the necessary preparation has been made.

We will also arrange a suitable time to meet with you, either at one of our funeral homes, whichever is most conveniently-located for you (there are 27 offices throughout the Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield and surrounding areas). Alternatively, we can arrange for our funeral director to visit your home or, if you prefer, somewhere else such as a friend’s house or a solicitor’s office.

When you meet the funeral director, they will be able to advise you on what to do next, take care of all the necessary funeral arrangements and explain, in detail, the procedure for registering the death.

When death takes place some distance away from home, either within the UK or abroad, we can make all the necessary arrangements. Our Funeral Directors will provide help and advice and can assist with arranging repatriation to and from anywhere in the world.
