Beyond the service

The admin doesn't stop at the farewell.

There's a lot to work through after a funeral. Remember Well• organises it all by timeframe — so you always know what to focus on next, and nothing slips through.

In the first week

01

Obtain the death certificate

In the weeks ahead

Notify banks and financial institutions

Contact each institution to notify them and begin the process of managing accounts.

Notify Services Australia

Cancel Centrelink payments, update Medicare and manage any aged care accounts.

Cancel or transfer utilities

Electricity, gas, water, phone and internet accounts that need to be closed or transferred.

Close or memorialise social media

Each platform has its own process — Remember Well• links you to the right place.

Cancel subscriptions and memberships

Streaming services, clubs, magazines and other recurring accounts.
