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.

My wife passed away on 14 August 24. I work away about drove home to find my wife on our sofa. The authorities called the Central Co-op Funeral Centre in Heanor, to pick up the body. A gentleman came up and apologised for the delay in attending our home. About 90 - 120 minutes later a man with a beard came to our house, looked at me and then the representative and said, 'Where is it!' I was enraged and disgusted that there was no sympathy or empathy. It seemed as though my wife was an annoyance and I was totally disgusted. This man should not be in this job with this attitude. I was an emotional mess, and this person put fuel on an already terrible situation. My wife is not an 'IT' she was my love for 38 years and I was disgusted that this person thought it was acceptable to talk like this this about someone who had just died.

May i take the time to say a massive thankyou to ALL at the Co Op Funeralcare at Langley Mill. My sister and i dealt with a lovely young lady called Katie at a very sad time when we lost our Mother near Christmas. She arranged the funeral with respect and curtesy. Mr Mark Worley and the rest of the team did a wonderful job yesterday at the funeral itself. We got everything done to our satisfaction and the proceedings went off without a hitch. Well done Holbrook Street. My family and i thank you.

Fabulous... professional, organised and in tune fully with us at a difficult time. Right up to and including the funeral no detail was missed and nothing was too much trouble. Felt in the hands of pro's throughout. Thankyou, especially Katie, Finlay and the lovely lady who lead todays funeral itself on behalf of the Co-op.
