Home Office Information

This downloadable leaflet is aimed at those who are
experiencing bereavement through murder or
manslaughter. A lot of the information applies to
anyone who has lost someone close. But we have
highlighted the areas where problems may be
worse because of how the death happened. This
leaflet does not replace any counselling or other
help you may need. A list of organisations that can
offer support can be found at the end of the main
part of the pack.

This downloadable leaflet contains information about decisions and arrangements
you may need to make, like deciding whether you would
like to view the deceased person or how to arrange a
funeral.
It also explains how the criminal justice system works and
what the police, the coroner and the courts will do now.
