Bereavement Service

The Bereavement Service offers helpful advice and support with the practical administrative process following the death of a relative or loved one at St Marys Hospital.

On behalf of the Bereavement Service and the Trust we offer you, your family, and friends our sincere condolences.

What you need to do first:

The first step is to contact our Bereavement Officer at your earliest convenience.  They will be able to offer you guidance on the next stages, answer any questions that you may have and signpost you to the appropriate agencies should you require further assistance.

Staff at the Bereavement Centre also include Mortuary staff and Medical Examiner’s Officers.  Together we aim to explain the processes, keep you informed at every stage and make sure that all certification is issued as efficiently as possible.
