More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
After a death, certain arrangements have to be completed - this guide supports readers through the process. It explains the necessary forms, the function of the people the bereaved may encounter (such as hospital staff, registrar, coroner, minister and funeral director) and the likely costs. Whether burial or cremation is selected, the book shows how to choose from the options avaliable and meet the wishes of the deceased at what can be a difficult time. It explains how to arrange a funeral without a funeral director, and outlines humanist and non-Christian burials.
About the Author
Paul Harris is the business manager of a group of funeral directors in the West of England. He is a regular broadcaster on matters relating to funerals and bereavement.

A vital book in distressing circumstances,
By A Customer
This review is from: What to Do When Someone Dies ("Which?" Consumer Guides) (Paperback)
This is a book that you won't want to read until these circumstances affect you - but when a friend or relative dies, you need something to help you through the maze of procedures that need to be gone through. This book is it. It provides simple information and advice during a difficult period. I found it invaluable. See also Wills and Probate in the same series.

This review is from: What to Do When Someone Dies ("Which?" Consumer Guides) (Paperback)
I have loaned this book to several bereaved people and they have all said this is the best possible book to have on hand after someone dies. If you ever need such a thing you will read it again and again. A really useful publication.

What to do when someone dies,
This review is from: What to Do When Someone Dies ("Which?" Consumer Guides) (Paperback)
This is an excellent publication that is both informative and very useful. Though slightly out of date the information it contains has not really altered a great deal. Mainly, the paperwork required have changed titles. ie: the doctors forms for cremation were B/C's and are now 4/5's, though in real terms the forms are pretty much the same. For current prices it is better to obtain these direct from the relevant department (crematorium / cemetery), or a local funeral director. This book covers most aspects of dealing with death that the majority of people will find useful. It handles the subjects related to dying in a sensitive but informative way and offers good advice, along with useful contacts. For anyone within the funeral business, this is a very handy book to have as a reference.
