Bereavement Advice Service

Age Concern Norfolk aims to provide advice and support to older people who are recently bereaved. Age Concern Norfolk Bereavement Advice Service offers practical help and support to an older person who has no family or friends to assist them.

 

The service is free and confidential.

We can help with:

• registering the death
• arranging the funeral
• contacting solicitors
• checking benefits
• completing any appropriate forms
• contacting state and private pension providers.

 

Who can refer to the Service?

• older person
• doctor/health professional
• social worker
• voluntary agencies
• funeral director
• registrar
• solicitors
• police.

If you are making a referral on someone else's behalf, it is essential that you have their permission to do so.

This Service is not a counselling service; however, if someone requires counselling or befriending we can make a referral to an appropriate provider.
