When someone has died

When someone close to you has died, if possible, try to find a friend to help you cope with your grief and with making the arrangements ahead.

Within a day or two, you will have to register the person’s death, usually at the nearest Registry Office to where they have died. This is the probably the last thing you will feel like doing, but the registration should be done by the next of kin, a near relative or the executor of the will.
This is the only action you must undertake in person. Thereafter, your funeral director will handle all the arrangements for you.
