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.

You probably don't need to pay for the funeral yourself
The estate will likely go through probate, which means the funeral costs can be paid from the estate. You need a probate specialist to make this happen.
Sail Probate · Fixed fees, nothing upfront
Probate might not be needed
That means the funeral costs probably can't be covered this way. But every situation is different — a quick chat can confirm.
We need a bit more info

"Sarah I made 1st contact with u and u were so helpful guided me through everything. Richard my day of the Funeral was so perfect, thank you from me, family and close friends — just beautiful."
— Linda Cormack (about Sarah)
"The team in Salisbury put so much sensitive care into helping us organise everything after Mum passed away, allowing us to feel whatever we felt as we went through the planning process. With their kindness they helped ensure that nothing but positive memories remain at the end."
— Anna-Maria Luton
"I rang them after losing our brother and Rachel answered the phone and there was no doubt then after talking to her that we were going to use them. At what has been such a painfully sad time Rachel and Sara have been there for us throughout and nothing has been too much trouble for either of them."
— Bridget Pritchard (about Rachel)
"Everyone involved in the passing of my soul mate Sandra has been kind, passionate, considerate, full of empathy and so respectful to the loved one. At a time of a lost love one, Chris White Funeral Director brought the family comfort and peace of mind. The care from beginning to closure was second to none."
— Mike Storrar (about Sarah)
"What meant the most to us was not only her efficiency but also her genuine compassion. She treated us with such warmth, respect and humanity, which brought us great comfort at a time when we needed it most. She is a true credit to her profession, and we cannot thank her enough."
— Kateryna Kurasova (about Helen)
"Emotional intelligence is often rarely seen these days, but was very much on show here. On the day itself we all felt safe in her hands, so that we could concentrate on our own grief and needs. Having such a peaceful, respectful funeral has enabled us to move to the next stage in our journey and Beckie played an important part of that."
— Tracy Harding (about Beckie)

I cannot recommend Chris White Funeral Directors enough following the exceptional care and service following the passing of my Mum. Beckie at the Wilton office deserves special recognition for her unwavering understanding of our needs, and the patience to give us time. On the day itself we all felt safe in her hands, so that we could concentrate on our own grief and needs. Mum absolutely got the service she wanted and I am so glad we chose Chris Whites (following a recommendation). Having such a peaceful, respectful funeral has enabled us to move to the next stage in our journey and Beckie played an important part of that. Emotional intelligence is often rarely seen these days, but was very much on show here. Thank you to all but especially Beckie.

They are very kind, professional and efficient, and organised a wonderful service for my Dad last year. Helen walked through the whole process with us and was very helpful and understanding at a very difficult time.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Helen for all her kindness, care and support during such a difficult time for our family. As Ukrainians, we have very different funeral traditions, and we were understandably worried about how everything would work in the UK. From the very beginning, Helen made us feel supported and reassured. She explained everything clearly, answered every question with patience and understanding, and organised everything so quickly and professionally. What meant the most to us was not only her efficiency but also her genuine compassion. She treated us with such warmth, respect and humanity, which brought us great comfort at a time when we needed it most. We are deeply grateful to Helen for making such a difficult day much easier to face. She is a true credit to her profession, and we cannot thank her enough.
