Bereavement support
The bereavement officers at York and Scarborough will:
- advise you on how to register the death
- advise you on how and where to collect any valuables and personal belongings left at the hospital
- advise you on making arrangements to view your relative or friend
- advise you on what to do next
You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about these or any other matters or concerns.
What to do during your bereavement
The bereavement services team produce a booklet 'What to do during your bereavement'. This provides practical help and advice during the early days of your bereavement.
These are available from the wards, the Bereavement Services Suite or you can download a copy below:
