Immediately after a death

Immediately after someone has died can be a very difficult time.

Not only are you bereaved and in mourning but there are a number of practical issues that need to be dealt with including getting the medical certificate of cause of death (MCCD) from the doctor, registering the death, arranging the funeral and looking into the will.

NHS Western Isles has also produced a useful local Bereavement Support leaflet. Click here to view.
