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

The whole team at Firmager’s were friendly, calm, respectful and supportive throughout and beyond the funeral of my loved one. This made myself and my family feel instantly at ease during the most difficult time in our lives. I would like to thank you for all the help and being respectful towards our loved one as this truly meant more than words can say

Helen, Ashley and the team at Firmager's were truly amazing following the sudden death of close member of my family. Whilst I've had to arrange funerals of my parents, this was particularly difficult. Helen was able to accommodate all our wishes, kept us informed and guided us through the arrangements with much care and professionalism. On the day, Ashley supported us through the funeral and allowed us the time we needed to say our final goodbyes. I would 100% recommend Firmagers.

We used Firmager services for my mother's funeral recently. Well impressed by the professionalism and care given to every aspect of the day. Good organisation and great respect for the bereaved making the event almost a pleasure.

Helen took great care of us from start to finish she made the whole process a lot easier. Everything from the one off coffin design to me requesting a 4th limo one hour before the funeral, which to my surprise she made happen. With the help of Firmager I gave my Dad the send off he deserved. I highly recommend Helen and her team should you find yourself in the unfortunate position of having to say good bye to a loved one.
