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.

Edd Frost and Daughters Family Funeral Directors is an independent family funeral business serving the Brackley area from their premises at 27 Market Place, Brackley. As Banbury and Brackley's only independent family funeral directors, they pride themselves on a personal, caring approach underpinned by the motto 'Where caring comes first.' The Brackley office is open Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5.00pm, and the team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for families in need.
Founded by Edd Frost, a fully qualified Funeral Director (Dip F.D. / M.B.I.F.D.) who was inspired to enter the profession following the loss of both his parents, the business is built on values of respect, care, dignity and trust. Edd and his team are committed to providing a uniquely personal service, ensuring every funeral reflects the individual wishes of the family and their loved one.
The Brackley branch offers a full range of services including funeral arrangements for both burials and cremations, a Chapel of Rest (available by appointment), pre-paid funeral planning, in-house floristry, and ongoing aftercare support. Families can also choose to have arrangements made in the comfort of their own home at no extra charge, reflecting the team's dedication to making a difficult time as comfortable as possible.
"The whole team at Edd Frost and Daughters look after every family as if it were their own."
— Judy Mansfield
"The attention to detail, beautiful hearse, professionalism, kindness and respect shown by you and your team were superb. We were complimented after the service for it being beautiful and even perfect and we appreciate your part in making that happen."
— Sandra Gellert (about Aaron)
"Aaron was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Even a last minute change of journey to resting place. A time when you need the most support during a very difficult time. Edd Frost will always come highly recommended."
— Donna Bethell (about Aaron)
"The personal touch and the empathy without mawkishness is second to none. Simply the best service anyone could wish for at a difficult time."
— Sue Newstead
"Aaron certainly made, what could have been such a difficult time, so much easier and more relaxing knowing that we were in safe hands and everything had been thought of and was covered. Complete professionalism, but with so much compassion, humanism and also a sprinkling of humour that we all loved and I know my Dad would have loved."
— Elaine King (about Aaron)
