Bereavement advice and support

If you have suffered a bereavement here is some advice and support you may need

When the death of a loved one occurs, there are many issues to consider. We hope that the information below will help you through what is a very difficult time.

A Bereavement Guide has been prepared by a group of Registration Officers employed in Northumberland.
Our aim is to give helpful advice and guidance to relatives who have recently suffered the loss of a loved one.

 

 

We will endeavour to arrange an appointment for relatives at a time and place of their choice.

 

Most people choose to appoint a funeral director to help with the funeral arrangements, but there are a number of things that you may wish to consider in order to personalise the funeral and make it more meaningful for you and your family.

 

You can access further information on deaths, funerals and cremations by using the sub topics on the Left-hand side of the page.
