In the UK there was a very good booklet for what to do in the event of a death.

Is there such a thing in Canada - preferably including NB?

Obviously I can look but not hugely in the mood right now.

Sorry to hear that you have had some sad news.

Can't help you but wanted to pass on my best wishes.

Such booklets/information are usually not Province issued, but more so by the funeral industry. I'm sure facilities close-by to you will have whatever you need.

Service Canada website has the list:

Sorry for your sad news..

Thanks people.


Not happened yet, but likely soon and just trying to make things less difficult.

There should be a social worker available to you (either through the hospital, hospice or community care team) who will have all the information you need.
I work in an Emergency Department and we have a Bereavement Package available to our bereaved families.
Wishing you peace in the days ahead.

My wife was in hospital for a month last year and we met with a social worker two or three times.

I came away thinking 'chocolate teapot' and I'm someone that likes social workers normally.

Thank you.
