Redirect their post After a Death | Funeral Directory
10 Step 10 of 18

Redirect their post

Within 2 weeks

Set up a Royal Mail redirection so the person's post comes to you. This helps you catch any accounts or correspondence you might otherwise miss.

A Royal Mail redirection costs around £35 for 3 months, £50 for 6 months, or £70 for 12 months (prices may vary).

This is particularly useful because:
- You may discover accounts or debts you were not aware of
- Important letters from banks, insurers, or HMRC will reach you
- It prevents sensitive documents sitting in an empty property

You can set up a redirection online at the Royal Mail website or at a Post Office.

What you will need

  • The person's address
  • The address you want post redirected to
  • A debit or credit card for payment
