Including any property in their name, even if jointly owned.
Were there savings, investments, or other assets?
Bank accounts, shares, pensions, or valuables above a few thousand pounds.
Was there a will?
Even if you're not sure where it is, knowing one exists can change the process.

A J Lloyd Funeral Directors, located at 38 Wallace Road, Keresley, Coventry, is a family-run funeral business established in January 2005 by Darren Lloyd. After years of experience in the funeral industry, Darren recognised the need for a more personal and bespoke service, making A J Lloyd the first new funeral directors to open in Coventry for over sixty years. The Keresley branch on Wallace Road was the original home of this trusted business, which has since grown to serve families across the Coventry area.
A J Lloyd offers a full range of both traditional and contemporary funeral services, built on the core values of care, consideration, and compassion. Their dedicated team is available 24 hours a day to provide emotional support, expert practical advice, and guidance through all aspects of funeral arrangements, including legal and administrative details. They are committed to treating the deceased with dignity and respect, while showing sensitivity to those who grieve.
The branch prides itself on its 'traditional values, modern approach' philosophy, offering tailored services to meet individual needs. They can arrange a variety of services, from full church services and Catholic Masses to simple cremations, and also provide a fleet of silver vehicles along with a matching silver horse-drawn carriage.
"They struck the perfect balance between professionalism and genuine empathy and guided us through every step with sensitivity and care. A very professional, compassionate and seamless service from all at A J Lloyd."
— Jonny Shiels
"The loss of my Dad has been devastating to us all and it was comforting to know that the team took care of everything. I would particularly like to thank Andy for his care and compassion throughout. You really are first class."
— Lorna Coleman (about Andy)
"Jimmy thought of everything and was often one step ahead when I had a question. The whole staff were professional and attentive from picking up the body, planning the service, conducting the cremation, and planning the interment. I cannot recommend their services any higher."
— Gerard Westwood (about Jimmy)
"I have been unfortunate enough to require the services of AJ Lloyds on three occasions in the past 10 weeks having lost my Mother, father and best friend in this time. These guys are in a league of their own — professional, smart and have a great attention to detail. All parts of the process were handled with dignity and respect. Really cannot praise them enough."
— Rich Mcgrath
"The level of care and support we received from Adrian was second to none. From start to finish we had regular communication and even just emails and calls checking how we are doing. Adrian went above and beyond for the care of our wonderful friend. He is compassionate and caring and nothing was any trouble at all — he is an asset to your company. Thank you for being a lifeline of support in a difficult time."
— Charles Brookes (about Adrian)
"From the very first moment we contacted AJ Lloyd's, we knew Wilton was in the very best hands. Karen guided us with warmth, patience, and genuine care. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every detail was handled with dignity and respect. She truly went above and beyond to ensure Wilton received the most beautiful and fitting farewell. Thank you for making a heartbreaking time that little bit easier and for giving Wilton the send-off he truly deserved."
— Dawn Markham (about Karen Lloyd)
