Deaths, Funerals & Cremations

When someone dies there are many decisions and arrangements to be made. Unfortunately these have to be made at a time of great personal distress and sadness.

The Broxtowe Borough Council Bereavement Service realises the difficulties you may face at such a time. We endeavour to provide a sympathetic, helpful and considerate service guiding you through the maze of legislation. These pages give you help and guidance about what to do from the moment a bereavement occurs.

Please note that these pages give general guidance only and should not be treated as a complete and authoritative statement of the law.

We are constantly working towards improving the services for the benefit and comfort of the bereaved, and offer free help and advice on all aspects of bereavement. It is our intention to provide an excellent standard of care and consideration. As we aim to provide a sympathetic service we are always pleased to receive helpful comments that may lead to an improved service.
