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.

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.

Great service from the team organising a funeral around Christmas time. Losing mum suddenly was horrible but we are very happy with our funeral director choice to help us celebrate her life. Cheryl

I have recently needed to call upon the services of a funeral director. I found an advert for these guys in a local newspaper so when the time came that I needed some one I called Olivia. This, I and the rest of the family feel was an excellent decision, Olivia and her team provided us with a fantastic service, most importantly to us dealt with my late mum with great care, compassion, dignity and total respect. Nothing seemed to much trouble, I cannot praise her and her team enough. The quality of service we received was exceptional. We are so grateful to them all. Please consider calling them in your time of need is all I can say. Further posting, I lost my father in Aug 22 and although the business had been bought by another owner but still trade as Jamieson the service again was exceptional this time I dealt with Sue and Natalie who took the stress out of helping people when times are sad and tough. I can only repeat my recommendation to use them. Thank you

I’m very happy that I chose Jamiesons to take care of my mums funeral and final resting place. I immediately felt very comfortable with the staff and as soon as I had my first meeting with them, felt like everything was in very safe hands. Even the vicar said how impressed he was with the staff at Jamiesons as they provided a service that he hasn’t seen in many years. Highly recommended Thanks ladies Emma England
