Things that may need returning
Following a death, as well as informing people and organisations about the loss, some documents and other items may need to be returned.

- The deceased’s passport, driving licence, car registration documents, membership cards and National Insurance papers must all be returned to the relevant offices
- Check for any library books that might need returning
- If there was any NHS equipment being used it will need to be returned to either the hospital or health centre it came from
- Any medical equipment loaned to the deceased will need to be returned. Contact their GP for guidance.
