Who to notify when someone passes
Where do I even start?
When someone passes, it’s important that you notify family and friends to begin with.
Once you have started to process your grief and things have settled down, it’s a good idea to start contacting organisations that your loved one had services with.
This can range from their phone and internet provider to their subscription food delivery service.
