To promote and to provide good care and support for those people living with, affected by, or curious about death, dying and bereavement across the Isle of Wight.

Supporting anyone who has been bereaved, UK wide.

Most people have to take responsibility for practical arrangements after a death just once or twice so are not familiar with the long list of tasks that await them. These include registering a death, arranging a funeral, and dealing with the person’s money and property which may need probate. All this must be done during a time that is usually emotionally very painful.

The NBS team of advisors can cope with any and every question about what to do after a death. Usually, we have the answer but if we don’t, we will know who does. Our information service is free and impartial, working with people to identify the best solution in their circumstances using straight-forward language. We combine this approach with empathy and understanding of the experience of bereavement and, if needed, can direct people to longer term sources of emotional support.

Most people experience grief when they lose someone important to them. It affects everyone differently. There's no right or wrong way to feel.
