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?

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.

"We were in a sad state of grieving and yet nothing was too much trouble. Understanding and empathy — what more could we ask? Thank you for helping us give our Dad a memorable send off."
— Susan Fosh
"In a time when I was feeling very fraught, fragile and stressed they made everything absolutely painless. A special thank you to David, who was like an old friend I'd known for years. He gave me so much help and support."
— Arthur Longhurst (about David)
"Lisa was wonderful. So kind, compassionate and professional. She guided myself and my sisters through a very difficult time, always there if needed and keeping us informed at every stage. Your team on the day made a very difficult day easier, knowing mum was treated with care and dignity without being intrusive."
— Jacqueline Pritchard (about Lisa)
"Lisa Wicks has been so caring, helpful and kind throughout, guiding me through the arrangements, using her experience and expertise in the most supportive way. They give a personal service at the most difficult time with humanity and caring. I would not use any other funeral directors."
— Jo Francis (about Lisa Wicks)
"I cannot fault the care and respect that Lisa gave my sister and I when we lost both our parents within 36 hours. Devastating times. They organised a double ceremony which was beautiful. Thank you Lisa and colleagues for keeping Mum & Dad together whilst under your care and showing them the utmost respect."
— Clare Murphy (about Lisa)
"Paul Cappers have been so wonderful to us at our darkest time. David, Nicky and Ruth arranged a beautiful service for our baby daughter and nothing was too much trouble. Whilst they had her at the home they looked after her so well, brought a cold cot from another location for her to stay in and they welcomed us to see her every day for as long as we needed. My husband and I feel that we 100% contacted the right people — they have made the impossible feel possible."
— Charlotte Bassett (about David, Nicky and Ruth)

Due to the nature of the substantial issues we had with Paul Capper I have decided not to list them in a public forum as they are private and upsetting. These grievances have since been raised with the funeral directors and suggested a donation to a charity would be appreciated in the circumstances. On the 24th June they said a donation had been made but over a month on we are still waiting of proof - which they said they would provide us.

I cannot fault the care and respect that Lisa gave my sister and I when we lost both our parents within 36 hours. Devastating times. They organised a double ceremony which was beautiful. The support was amazing. Thank you Lisa and colleagues for keeping Mum & Dad together whilst under you care and showing them the upmost respect.

The whole team at Paul Capper funeral directors have been brilliant throughout the process. My husband died suddenly and unexpectedly Sam and Tracy collected him and Lisa Wicks was our funeral arranger. She has been so caring, helpful and kind throughout, guiding me through the arrangements, using her experience and expertise in the most supportive way. The team on the day of the funeral led by Neil were great, again guiding me through the day. The team included Tracy, Tim and Jo. I would recommend Paul Cappers to anyone as they give a personal service at the most difficult time with humanity and caring and being able to assess what is and isn’t appropriate for the family. I would not use any other funeral directors. Thank you Jo Francis xxx❤️

Lisa and the team at Paul Capper were brilliant in helping us arrange our father’s funeral. At such a sad time they helped us with all the arrangements and put us in touch with Sonja Gundry, the celebrant, who treated us like family and spoke so amazingly at the service. The pall bearers, driver and Charlie were exceptional on the day. Thank you to everyone for making it a celebration of dad’s life and guiding us through on the day.

Lisa was wonderful. So kind compassionate and professional. She guided myself and my sisters through a very difficult time and was caring in every aspect, always there if needed and keeping us informed at every stage. Your team on the day of the funeral were as equally kind compassionate and professional, making a very difficult day easier,i knowing mum was treated with care and dignity without being intrusive
