I found the local authority was very helpful when I went to record my mum's death. They immediately organised informing all sorts of people/organisations etc They gave me a leaflet called 'What to do when somebody dies". There is a lot of practical stuff that swings into action but I don't suppose people know that in advance. I certainly didn't. The local authority people even instantly cancelled things like library tickets and bus passes which wouldn't have occurred to me.

I have just read on another thread how one Gransnetter is struggling to cope with the recent death of her DH. I am sure I would be very similar.

I felt it was inappropriate for me to ask the following question on that thread so have started a fresh one here.

Can anyone suggest a book or website that gives comprehensive on what to do practically when a partner dies ? I mean from who you have to inform, to how to deal with all the weekly paperwork, bills etc that now need to be looked after by the remaining partner.
