If someone has died

You do not need to call us first.

Here is what happens in the first few hours. Our full guide covers every situation, from a death at home to one abroad, and you can come back to it whenever you need.

  1. Take a moment.

    If the death was expected, nothing needs to happen quickly. Sit with them, call family, say goodbye.

  2. The death is confirmed.

    At home, call the GP or NHS 111. In hospital or a care home, the staff will do it. If it was sudden, call 999.

  3. Call us when you are ready.

    Day or night, a member of the family will answer, and we will come to you. No paperwork is needed first.

Our family

A member of the family on the phone, at any hour.

We are the same family looking after the same villages: Welshpool, Newtown, Llanfair Caereinion, Machynlleth, and the places between. The phone is always answered by someone you can ask for by name, and the person who answers is the person who will look after you.
