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?

Was there a will?
Even if you're not sure where it is, knowing one exists can change the process.

I highly recommend Miles and Daughters Funeral Directors for their impeccable service. A special thanks to Rob for his care and attention during this difficult time. The entire process was carried out smoothly with care and dignity. My Mum's funeral at Greenacres was beautiful. Our celebrant, Emma was just fantastic, taking the time to get to know our family and my late Mum. The limo service from Miles and Daughters was a welcome touch and meant we could all travel together which was a real blessing. They even took the scenic route to Greenacres which Mum would have loved, thank you. Choosing the right funeral care is a difficult decision at a difficult time and I am so thankful that we went with Miles and Daughters.

We were looked after by Jill. Throughout the entire process, nothing was too much trouble. Jill's attention to detail was evident and even the printers they use were exceptional; it was an extensive Order of Service...and the first draft did not have a single error. The cars were immaculate, (we were lucky enough to have Morag) as were the pallbearers, lead by Ryan. I would highly recommend Miles & Daughters...they are an extremely professional company.

I can’t thank Jill and Lisa and all Miles and Daughters staff enough for their compassionate care shown to my family and myself in recent bereavements. Jill at the Maidenhead branch has helped us to get through very tough times and no request has been too much trouble. She certainly goes the extra mile as do all the staff. Jill has also been able to arrange the headstone for my late Husband and his Brother too. I have no hesitation in recommending Miles and Daughters.who make a very difficult time go so smoothly.
