End of life care
There is a variety of support available to people nearing the end of their life, as well as their families, friends and carers.
In the first instance you should talk to your social worker, GP, district nurse or any other health or social care worker. They will know about the best support available locally and how you can access it.
Registering a death and organising a funeral
Our Registration service can sensitively take you through the legal process of registering a death.
You can also find out about organising a funeral and civil funerals.
