Dealing with a death in Scotland

The Scottish Government have created a guide that provides practical advice about the legal steps you have to take after someone dies, including:

  • Registering a death
  • Planning a funeral
  • If the death is reported to the procurator fiscal
  • Financial help that you may be able to get
  • Bereavement support organisations

You can access the guide at www.gov.scot/collections/what-to-do-after-a-death-in-scotland/
