Did the person who died own a property?
Including any property in their name, even if jointly owned.
Were there savings, investments, or other assets?
Bank accounts, shares, pensions, or valuables above a few thousand pounds.
Was there a will?
Even if you're not sure where it is, knowing one exists can change the process.

"Andrea and the team really looked after us and Mum. They were fantastic from start to finish, helpful, willing to sacrifice their own time so we could arrange visits and incredible on the day."
— Mitchell Fear (about Andrea)

— Danny (about Sarah)
"From start to finish Andrea and her team showed the greatest respect, warmth and professionalism I could have ever hoped for. Andrea helped us navigate all the challenges of producing a day of remembrance worthy of our loved one by helping us tailor their service to please a number of loving family members."
— Norma-jane Beckwith (about Andrea)
"We felt like we were in very safe hands all the way through, and more importantly felt mum was in safe hands too. I really cannot recommend Andrea highly enough. Andrea has been amazing with looking after my mum, looking after us, and organising the best send off we could have possibly asked for."
— Clare Richards (about Andrea)
"Nothing was too much for Sarah and she explored our wishes and plans with precision... I was stuck in traffic and Sarah waited after closing time for me and also hand delivered the ashes once they came back from the crematorium to my nieces address. AH Rogers is not just a business, it becomes part of your family."
— Danny (about Sarah)
"I am a young person who had to organise my husband's funeral, I am in my 30s and have never done this before. It was overwhelming and heartbreaking however from my first contact with Andrea, I knew that I wanted her to support me. Andrea guided me through the whole process, nothing was ever too much trouble... it felt like she really got to know him. She has gone above and beyond her duties for which my family and I will be forever grateful."
— Rhiannon Hattemore (about Andrea)

More than a funeral service. Sarah & Team were empathetic and walked the journey with us every step of the way. Nothing was too much for Sarah and she explored our wishes and plans with precision, guiding and advising us to ensure the day was exactly as we wanted, and more importantly to deliver the wishes of my parents who sadly passed away within 24hrs of each other. From advice on the coffins, flowers, cortège, pall bearers, crematorium, celebrant, music, orders of service, urns and personal trinkets - Sarah gave her whole heart in ensuring everything was covered to our our liking.. I was stuck in traffic and Sarah waited after closing time for me and also hand delivered the ashes once they came back from the crematorium to my nieces address - AH Rogers is not just a business, it becomes part of your family and my Family would like to thank Sarah & the team from our hearts for the unparalleled service throughout a very difficult time for us. Thank You

I would just like to say a deeply sincere Thank You to Sarah and all her colleagues at A H Rogers & Sons Funeral Directors, Hedge End, who were involved in my dear Brothers funeral arrangements and service on 31st July 2025. The Celebrant Sonja was absolutely amazing, sincerely empathetic and put the families needs first every time. Nothing was too much for her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. A highly professional, caring and compassionate team. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services.

AHRogers were very professional through the whole process I used them for my Mum's funeral during Covid so it was an obvious choice for them to arrange myDad's funeral. I would recommend them to anyone during one of the worst times of your life. Thank you Andrea from my whole family

Andrea and her team provided excellent service to us recently for my mum's funeral arrangements. Would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a funeral director. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was dealt with sensitively and efficiently.
