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.

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.

I’d like to send my sincere thanks to Gordon, Sally and their team for their wonderful work and support in dealing with Dad’s funeral and ashes interment arrangements, which were all delivered perfectly. They have made a difficult time so much easier for us and ensured that Dad has been looked after with such care and attention. Nothing was too much trouble for Gordon, Sally and their team, we didn't have to worry about anything, every detail was dealt with in a professional, thoughtful and friendly manner.

A huge heartfelt thank you to Gordon, Sally & Charlotte for giving dad such a beautiful send off. We felt comfortable and at ease knowing dad was in your care. You’re all so calm, compassionate and professional. Every attention to detail was thought of. You treated us and dad with utmost care and dignity and the day we said goodbye could not have been more perfect. You make it all look so effortless - it’s clear how hard you work and how much of yourselves you put into it. Can’t thank you all enough. I highly recommend you guys to anyone.

I would like to thank Gordon, Sally and their team for a first class and compassionate service. My mum's send-off was absolutely beautiful and stunning. Nothing was too much trouble and always at the end of the phone. There are not enough words to describe just how grateful I am. I would 100% recommend them to look after your loved one. Tina

I can't express how grateful I and my family are to Gordon and Sally for their exceptional service. Living in New Zealand, I was unable to be there in person to arrange everything, but they facilitated the entire process with such care and professionalism. From collecting my dad's body from the hospital to organising the service, they handled everything flawlessly. They even provided a video link so we could be there virtually to watch the service, which meant the world to us. The compassion and attention to detail they showed made all the difference during this difficult time. I can highly recommend Gordon and Sally to anyone in need of funeral services. Thank you for everything. Lisa.
