First 30 Days After a Death (England & Wales)
A calm, practical checklist for registration, government notifications, documents, organisations and follow-ups when your head is somewhere else.
Covers the first 72 hours, funeral practicalities, the official steps, who to notify, household money, documents and a 30-day action board, for England and Wales. This is an organising aid, not legal, probate, tax or financial advice.
What’s inside

- First 72 Hours: what is time-sensitive or worth capturing now
- Funeral Practicalities: decisions and contacts in one place
- Government & Official Steps: registration, Tell Us Once, bereavement support
- First 30 Days Checklist: the wider administration of the first month
- Who to Notify: every organisation, reference and chase date
- Household Money & Services: protect continuity while you work out what changes
- Documents to Gather and Certificates & Key Documents Log
- 30-Day Action Board
- Official checks: GOV.UK sources to recheck
