In the very difficult time when a person has passed away, there are few things that must be done in the first few days;

The funeral can usually only take place after the death is registered.
Funeral directors
Choose a funeral director who’s a member of one of the following:

The British Humanist Association can help as well with non-religious funerals.
Arranging the funeral yourself
You can arrange a funeral without a funeral director. If you want to do this, the Natural Death Centre or Cemeteries and Crematorium department of your local authority can offer help and guidance.
