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?
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.
This can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to figure it out alone. A probate specialist can walk you through the next steps — no obligation, no pressure.
That's one less thing to worry about. If anything changes or you'd like a quick confirmation, a specialist can put your mind at rest.

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.

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

"It honestly made the day all about my Uncle, as the organisation of it went so smoothly."
— Alan Parkinson
"A special thank you to Damian and Rob, whose warmth, sensitivity, and quiet efficiency were deeply appreciated. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were completely adaptable to the needs and wishes of our family."
— Stephen Sharpe (about Damian & Rob)
"Sensitive when we were not yet able to cope with some aspects and we didn't feel rushed. On the day we felt our wonderful Mum would have loved it, it was a success."
— Jane and Katie (about Damian)
"We laughed, cried and celebrated dad's life to the full for which I can only thank their contribution to the ceremony for."
— Yvonne M (about Damian)
"As well as being super professional, they are thoroughly nice people: kind, compassionate - particularly towards my Step mum who was in a very fragile state, thoughtful, sensitive and gently humorous (which my Dad would have appreciated!). Would recommend highly and without reservation!"
— Lisa Taylor (about Damian, Mandy & George)
"Mandy's knowledge, care and calm advice even before the day Mum passed was invaluable. Both Mandy & Damian's compassion coupled with such a high level of knowledge & professionalism made a very sad day go without a hitch. More importantly, Mum would have been very pleased with not only her send off but also the care and respect she has been shown."
— Chris Winfield (about Mandy & Damian)

We were very pleased that we chose Cooper & Son for my father’s funeral. They took great care of us and all the small details were carefully followed and nothing was too much trouble. They made the whole process much easier for us and were sensitive and caring. Thank you for helping us give Dad the send off he deserved.

My family and I are so greatful to Damian, Mandy, George and team. They created a beautiful, professional and memorable farewell for our Dad, Colin. Nothing was too much trouble and we would absolutely recommend them. They took all the stress and worry out of organising such an important occasion and delivered it with professionalism and respect. Thank you and with heartfelt thanks. The 'Harley Hurst' was amazing!!

I had an exceptional experience with Cooper & Son. Damian, Mandy and George handled everything so brilliantly. I was organising my dad's funeral 'remotely' as he lived in Seaford with my Step mum while I am in London, and the team made everything so easy. It was a beautiful day and everything went so smoothly, better than I could ever have expected. As well as being super professional, they are thoroughly nice people: kind, compassionate - particularly towards my Step mum who was in a very fragile state, thoughtful, sensitive and gently humorous (which my Dad would have appreciated!). Would recommend highly and without reservation!

I have to say a massive Thank You to all at Cooper & Son. Mandy’s knowledge, care and calm advice even before the day Mum passed was invaluable. Both Mandy & Damian’s compassion coupled with such a high level of knowledge & professionalism made a very sad day go without a hitch. More importantly, Mum would have been very pleased with not only her send off but also the care and respect she has been shown. Couldn’t ask for more.
