Taking The First Step

If you have suffered a bereavement, please call me on 020 3067 0068 24hrs a day first, so I can advise you of the steps required to ease this whole process.

Here is a guide for you to follow:

If someone has died at home and it is an expected death, please call your GP Practice and inform them of the death, they will send a Doctor to pronounce. If out of hours then please call NHS Out of Hours Service on 111 and they will send a Doctor to pronounce. This service can take up to 6 hours!

Once the Doctor has been, we will then arrange to collect the person who has died and bring them into our care.

If the person has died in a hospital, please contact the Bereavement office attached to that Hospital and request the Medical Cause of Death Certificate, this is the form required by the Registrar or nursing home, we will arrange to bring the person who has died into our care once the death has been registered.

We can direct and advise you every step of the way.
