Additional Supports

Bereavement Booklet

This booklet, produced by the Citizens Information Board in March 2018, provides information on dealing with the practical and material matters that arise following a death and it is intended as a guide for people who have been recently bereaved and for those supporting people who have been bereaved.

It contains general information on what to do immediately after a death and the taxation, legal and financial issues that may arise, including social welfare payments. It does not provide detailed information on all these matters but does provide information about where to go for further information and support.
