Guide to Bereavement

When someone dies there are many decisions that need to be made at a time when we feel least able to do so.

To support you through this difficult time East Sussex Registration has produced this brochure to help inform and guide you through the practical tasks and arrangements needed.

In this brochure you will find information on how to register a death, details about arranging the funeral, how to deal with the deceased’s Estate, who to inform, and contact details of organisations who can provide support.


We understand the difficulties you may be facing at this time of bereavement and will do our best to provide a sympathetic, compassionate, professional and helpful service.
