Bereavement information for families and loved ones

National support services for people who have suffered sudden or violent bereavement

When tragedy strikes, it is important to be able to find help and support. This is why the Police and Support Services have compiled this list to hopefully assist during the difficult times following your loss. The Police and Support Services offer their sincere condolences. There are in existence numerous organisations, each dealing with a different specialist area - they may all prove of help to you, depending on what help or information you require at a specific time.

This list is not exhaustive. There are many other organisations available to support victims. The MPS is not endorsing these organisations.
