[Resources] After a Death: Get support when someone dies

resource image

When someone dies, you may need emotional, financial, cultural or legal support. This page helps you find services and plan your next steps.

Use a journal to stay organized. You can also print the After a Death Checklist (PDF, 3.8MB). It lets you check off tasks and make notes. Many people find this helpful.

Keep the checklist in a safe place. Collect important documents and keep them in the same place.
