Bereavement service
Our bereavement officers provide an administrative role liaising with doctors, wards, mortuary staff and external agencies on your behalf. We ensure the efficient issuing of all the necessary paperwork and we can also provide initial advice about how to register a death and make arrangements.
We have produced two bereavement booklets – one for Queen’s Hospital and one for King George Hospital. They can be downloaded below. They are intended to offer reassurance, give suggestions about where to find help, information on some of the practical matters to be tackled, as well as advice on coping with the loss.
Our Chaplaincy service can also provide comfort and support at this difficult time, to people of all faiths and of none. Please ask a member of staff to contact the chaplains for you, or alternatively you can visit our multi-faith prayer rooms or chapels.
