Question of 3
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.
Many families don't have all the information straight away — that's completely normal. A quick chat with a specialist can help you understand what applies to your situation.

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
Don't worry — lots of people aren't sure at this stage. A quick chat can work out whether the funeral costs can be covered.

"It is an understatement to say they could not do enough for us. They were very polite, understanding and professional, letting us go at our pace and advising us all the way. I can't recommend this company enough."
— Scott Ashley MBE (about Ellie, Abbie and Stephen)
"Their emotional support helped me get through the procedure. I would also like to thank the pall bearers who were truly amazing, assisting both my daughters who carried my son's coffin with them."
— Teresa Hulm (about Ellie and Emma)
"I feel emotional every time I think about how much they both did for my family. Sarah went above and beyond booking all the extra funeral requirements and helped me give my Mum an amazing send off. They are absolutely amazing!"
— Joyce Connor Make Up (about Sarah and Emma)
"You gave us love and dignity. We felt Dad was looked after with so much respect and care. There was truly no stupid question, we were able to see Dad as often as we like, and you kept us informed at every step."
— Katherine White
"She helped us navigate something we never wished to have to do for our son. Nothing was too much trouble for her to help with. At such a devastating time, she was so empathetic and professional. She made it as easy as possible for us."
— Moira (about Ellie)
"During the most difficult time of my life, the team at E Sargeant & Son provided care, dignity, and genuine compassion that I will never forget. Their kindness made an unbearable time a little more manageable, and I'm deeply grateful for their patience and the comfort they offered."
— Emma Basey (about Abbie, Ellie and Charlie)

During a time when emotions are high the staff at E Sargeants were very helpful, considerate and very accommodating with my wishes. I would like to single out Ellie who organised the arrangements that were faultless on the day. Emma our celebrant was a great choice from Ellie and it was if they knew my late wife. Simon who was in charge on the day was also very helpful so I can’t leave him out. Thank you All Colin

My sister Sandra & I would highly recommend Sergeant & Son Funeral Directors. Vicki, Senior Funeral Arranger & Emma, Funeral Director, were so kind, helpful & supportive through the whole process with our mum’s funeral. We also had Emma Mansey as our celebrant and couldn’t have wished for a kinder, lovely lady, who gave such a beautiful service. The whole team were professional, compassionate & gave our mum a very dignified funeral.

I was so grateful to both Ellie and Emma for their professionalism and compassion. Their emotional support helped me get through the procedure . In additional i would like to thank the pall bearers who were truly amazing, assisting both my daughters (who carried my sons coffin with the pall bearers)

Faultless service. Ellie was amazing, fast, accurate and considerate. Stephen called me the day before the funeral so I had a full understanding of what would happen. He accommodated the special requests I had very well and all the team was briefed. Charlie drove impeccably and respectfully and showed us how to carry the coffin correctly. Outstanding from start to finish.
