When someone dies

Here you will find practical information about what happens when someone dies.

We provide links to resources to support death care and death administration, including:

  • key supports to help bolster your support network
  • information and resources on spirituality to help you consider what matters most when someone dies.

At the end

An expected and natural death is not an emergency. There is no rush to act. You can do things at a pace that suits you.

Next steps

When you are ready, and only after you have taken the time you need to be with the person, there are things you will need to arrange.

Your support network

You don’t need to walk this road on your own. There are different types of support available to you.

Caring for yourself

The death of someone important to you is one of life’s most pivotal events. Be kind to yourself.

Spirituality

At the time of death, the role of spiritual beliefs, rituals, and practices can continue to bring comfort to those left behind.
