Bereavement Advice Centre is a free helpline and web-based information service provided by ITC (Independent Trust Corporation). We give practical information and advice on the many issues and procedures that face us after the death of someone close.

We welcome calls from people who are bereaved and the professionals and volunteers who support them. Bereavement Advice Centre helps many people every day and aims to give straightforward, useful advice when you need it.

The service is led by Anne Wadey and works in partnership with individuals and organisations who have face to face contact with the bereaved. Our aim is to identify and respond to areas of need rather than duplicate existing services. This is why we focus on practical concerns and signpost to other types of help.

Bereavement Advice Centre was established in 2007 through a partnership between ITC, the UK’s largest independent probate provider, and the National Association of Funeral Directors.

ITC is committed to providing Bereavement Advice Centre as a free at the point of access service. We take considerable care to be transparent about this relationship to all callers.
