After A Death

Whether the loss was expected or sudden, the days and weeks after a death can feel like a blur. There is grief, of course, but there are also a lot of decisions, responsibilities, and unknowns.

The After a Death hub is here to guide you through what needs to be done, when it needs to happen, and how to find help if you’re feeling buried in the details.

This is not about doing everything at once. It is about knowing where to begin. From ordering death certificates to handling digital accounts, planning a funeral, or managing the estate, we walk you through what comes next.

You do not need to know everything. You just need to know the next step.
