Bereavement
Losing someone close to you can be the most difficult part of life. It is important that you look after yourself during this time, both in your health and financially. Our guides and directory provide relevant information that can help you during this time.
There are so many organisations that provide invaluable information and support to people affected by bereavement. Some serve a specific geographical area or people affected by a particular type of death. To avoid this page becoming just another phone directory we have given details of just a selection below.
