[[File:A Death in Your Family cover image.jpg|thumb|275px|right|<span style="font-size:50%;">Image via www.istock.com</span>]]''[[A Death in Your Family]]'' is for people who want to know what to do when a loved one dies. It covers preparing for the death of a loved one, what to do immediately after the death, making the funeral arrangements, and where to find support.
At [[People's Law School]], we believe accurate, plain English information can help people take action to work out their legal problems. This resource publication explains in a general way the law that applies in British Columbia. '''It is not intended as legal advice. ''' For help with a specific legal problem, contact a legal professional. Some sources of legal help are highlighted in the "[[Where to Get Help for A Death in Your Family|Where to Get Help]]" section.
We have tried to use clear language throughout. See the "[[Glossary for A Death in Your Family|Glossary]]" section for definitions of key legal terms, which are also bolded in the text.
