Coping with House Clearance Sheffield After the Death of a Loved One

funeral flowers after house clearance sheffieldLosing a friend or relative is an incredibly difficult time for anyone, young or old. Grief is complex emotion that can have a negative effect on various areas of your life, and giving yourself time to fully grieve for the person you have lost is really important. In some cases, people will be responsible for clearing out the house after their friend or relative has passed away, which can be difficult in times of grief. As a house clearance company in Sheffield, Clearance and Clean Up help many people with house clearances after the death of a loved one, so we’ve put together a few tips that will hopefully make it that little bit easier.

Sort Out the Finances

Your first job will involve securing the financial life of those who you have lost. Ensuring that the mortgage is paid and the bills are up to date is a must. With regard to home insurance, it’s important to keep the policy in force to ensure that you are still protected, which may mean a call to the company and a name change to the estate. It might also be worth changing the locks on the property if you’re not sure who has a key.

Remove and Save Valuables

Although it may be a painful and memory filled process, it’s a must to scour the house for any financial documents, statements, insurance policies, birth certificates and wallets. Also keep an eye out for spare keys.

Keep, Donate, Sell or Throw Away

To aid in the organisation of a house clearance, you may want to sort items you find into one of these four piles; keep, donate to charity, sell, or throw away. You may find things that are of sentimental or monetary value, and wish to hold on to them. There may be things that can be sold, or given to your local charity shop for resale. There might also be a considerable amount of rubbish which will need to be disposed of too.
