| We are available to assist you 24 hours
a day, so you may contact us at any time by telephone. We will either
arrange to see you at your home, or you may prefer to visit our office
in Green Street, Ryde. Together we will go through in detail all which
has to be done and explain to you the things you must do, and the things
which we will do on your behalf. With regard to legal formalities, in
most cases the only task you have to perform will be the registration
of the death, (we are not permitted to register a death). |
