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.
Sail Probate · Fixed fees, nothing upfront
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
Don't worry — lots of people aren't sure at this stage. A quick chat can work out whether the funeral costs can be covered.

— Debby Pearson (about Dean Anderson)
"Dean Anderson is an Angel in disguise. He looked after my brother 2 years ago, nothing was any trouble. My mum was so impressed that she said when it was her time she wanted Dean to look after her. Dean expressed it would be an honour and a privilege. What an exceptional human being this man is. He really is a treasure to behold, an earth angel!"

This was the second time the Co-op Eastney have supported us with the loss of a dear loved one. From start to finish the love and care we were provided with by Gemma and the whole team was exemplary. During a heartbreaking time we felt supported and looked after. They were superb and we can't thank them enough for everything that they did. Thank you sincerely.

Dean Anderson is an Angel in disguise. He looked after my brother 2years ago , nothing was any trouble , my mum was so impressed that she said to me when it was her time she wanted Dean to look after her. Mum sadly passed away in October this year 2024 and I had no hesitation in carrying out her wishes. Dean expressed it would be an honour and a privilege, what an exceptional human being this man is.

I visited a loved one who was resting here, Dean was so helpful, compassionate, professional guys I've ever met. Made me feel at ease, no time limits, felt very welcomed and comfortable. The reflection room was so calming, pristine, with such beautiful canvases on the walls. I got to spend around two hours with my loved one. Dean even came out to make sure I got my lift OK. What an amazing human being went above and beyond to help me through a heart breaking time. The team had made my loved one look the very best despite the period of time since they passed. Massive thanks to the Eastney Co operative Funeral Directors
