Did the person who died own a property?
Including any property in their name, even if jointly owned.
Were there savings, investments, or other assets?

Was there a will?
Even if you're not sure where it is, knowing one exists can change the process.

Box Bros Funeral Directors has been proudly serving the local community of Blackpool, the Fylde Coast and the surrounding areas since 1915, when it was founded by Thomas Edwin Box. With over a century of experience, the funeral home has built a strong reputation for providing meticulous, compassionate and professional funeral services tailored to the individual needs of every family.
The caring team at Box Bros are fully trained, professional and sensitive, understanding that no two funerals are the same. They offer a wide range of services including cremations, burials, green and woodland funerals, unattended cremations and repatriation, as well as products such as memorial masonry, coffins, urns and floral tributes. The team is always happy to cater for different ethnicities, religious and non-religious groups, going the extra mile to ensure every detail is handled with care.
Box Bros Funeral Directors is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by telephone, and can also arrange home visits for families who prefer a more personal consultation. Now part of Funeral Partners Limited, the branch continues to uphold its longstanding heritage and community reputation while benefiting from the support of one of the UK's leading funeral service providers.

"Absolutely fantastic service from Box Brothers, this is the place to go for preparations of your loved ones passing. Superb staff, very helpful and cater to your every need."
— Heidi Conrad (about Scott)
"The funeral car kindly paused outside our home for a few moments to allow neighbours to pay their last respects. I was then kindly permitted to follow the coffin in to say my goodbyes. I was told not to hurry and take my time — which was very considerate. Everything was so beautiful and very sad but I could not have asked for the funeral to be any better."
— Michelle Hall
"They helped me through one of the most heartbreaking times of my life — the loss of my mum. They were very accommodating on the chapel of rest visits and always made sure I had plenty of support and tissues. We have used their services for more than 20 years and will continue to do so as the level of service is amazing."
— Yvonne Wash (about Adrian)
"Box Brothers were truly incredible in helping us say goodbye to our beloved Sheila.
