Sadly, the death of those close to us is inevitable. This will be a difficult time, as you struggle to process their passing. Here is a quick rundown of some of the things that will occur after your loved one has passed away.

Reporting Their Passing To Authorities

If your loved one passed away at home, you will need to report the incident to the authorities. If your loved one had a regular doctor, you can call them. If not, you will need to call the police to report their passing.

Your funeral director will register the death. This needs to be done within three working days of your loved one's passing. You might need to provide them with some additional information and documentation.

If your loved one passed away in a hospital or a nursing home, the facility staff will take care of these formalities on your behalf.

Apply For Bereavement Leave

You will be entitled to take up to three days of paid leave following the passing of a family member. Some employers might opt to give you a longer leave period. It's best to inform your employer as soon as possible.

Choosing A Funeral Director

The next stage of the process is to choose a funeral director. It's best to interview a few options. Look for professional, knowledgeable, caring staff members. You should also consider the types of venues available and the level of support they can provide. This will allow you to find someone who can help you deliver a heartfelt tribute to your loved ones.

Planning A Funeral Service

Next, you can start making the arrangements for their final farewell. The good news is that you won't have to make these choices alone. A compassionate funeral director will be by your side, guiding you through the process. This ensures that you can create a beautiful service that will honor the memory of your loved one.

Sometimes, your loved one might have pre-planned their funeral. This allows them to lay out the way they would prefer their service to be handled. If they have made these arrangements, the instructions should be contained within their will.

Considering What Financial Assistance Is Available

Sadly, paying for a funeral can be expensive. The good news is that there are a few forms of financial assistance offered by the New Zealand government. For example, you might be able to claim a funeral grant from Work and Income. If your loved one passed away as a result of an accident or injury at work, you might be able to claim assistance from the ACC. If your loved one served in the military, you can contact Veterans Affairs.

Seeking Grief Support

Understandably, your thoughts during this difficult time are often associated with preparing the final farewell for your loved one. But you should also consider your own mental health. It can help to share your emotions with friends and family. Sometimes, you might want to turn to a professional counsellor to help you deal with your grief.

Conclusion

The passing of a loved one, though inevitable, will be tragic. During this time, you will need to find a way to navigate through your grief to organize a heartfelt final goodbye. Thankfully, you will have a supportive team of friends, family, and funeral directors by your side to help you make these arrangements.
