- BEREAVEMENT GUIDE -

Celebrate a Life in Oxfordshire.

We produced this guide on behalf of Oxfordshire County Council’s Registration Service to help through a difficult time. READ OUR E-BOOK BELOW

When someone close to us dies, the feelings of shock, sadness, loss and bewilderment can take over our lives. The information covers what you are likely to need in the next few weeks and months.

We suggest what the priorities are, and explain how, where and when you register the death. We will let you know what is required by law and what choices you have in order to arrange the funeral. There is a section with information about sorting the estate. Losing a loved one presents many challenges when you feel least able to deal with them.

Organisations providing support are listed should you need to contact them. It is our aim to provide a sympathetic, helpful and considerate service to help you make the necessary decisions and arrangements. It is important to us that you have the best and clearest information and guidance to make sure that the arrangements you make are the ones that are best for you, your family and friends.
