"Dealing with funeral arrangements and managing a loved one's estate is never easy, particularly when emotions are still raw and important decisions need to be made quickly."

Added-value support service RedArc has announced a new partnership with Funeral Experts, which has joined its roster of specialist third-party support providers.
Funeral Experts supports individuals and families through the practical, financial and administrative challenges that can arise at the end of life and following a death.
This includes funeral advice, welfare benefits advice, income maximisation, death notifications, probate and estate administration guidance and support with end-of-life planning. The organisation also works alongside NHS Trusts, local authorities and charities.
RedArc provides guidance on coping with grief, supporting children, managing the practical consequences of a loss, and accessing specialist services where needed. It can also arrange additional support, such as bereavement counselling, children's resources, complementary therapies, sleep and nutritional support, and equipment to support independent living.

"Dealing with funeral arrangements and managing a loved one's estate is never easy, particularly when emotions are still raw and important decisions need to be made quickly," Christine Husbands, commercial consultant at RedArc, said.
