Those who manage life after loss will need to contact people close to the deceased.

These are not necessarily just friends, but individuals who may have supported them professionally.

To make this process easier, catalog important people and include general information about each person along with their contact information.

These individuals include, but are not limited to:

Personal Relationships

• Emergency contacts


• Spouse / partner


• Children / grandchildren


• Extended family


• Close friends


• Pets

Medical

• Physicians


• Mental health provider


• Dentist


• Veterinarians


• Pharmacists


• Social Worker

Finance

• Accountant


• Financial Planner


• Insurance Providers


• Investment Manager

Legal

• Personal Attorney


• Corporate


• Estate Planning

Everyday Services

• Garbage


• Cleaning


• Landscaping / gardening


• Plumber


• Electrician


• Septic


• HVAC

Typically, a personal address book, or spreadsheet is used to catalog all of this information.

A cell phone can also be used to create groups of contacts which may be easily found in case of emergency.
