Your rights when dealing with funeral directors and how to complain if needed.
When someone passes away, a death must be registered with the relevant state or territory registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, typically arranged by the funeral director. Once registered, certified copies of the death certificate can be obtained, needed for notifying banks, super funds, and government agencies.
If the deceased had a Will, the executor administers the estate. Without one, the court appoints an administrator. Both may require probate through the Supreme Court. Our Beyond the Service guide covers the full checklist.
Conversations That Matter
Through Remember Well•, we meet people doing meaningful work across end-of-life care, grief support, funeral advocacy, aged care, death education and practical planning.
These conversations are designed to help families understand what support exists, what questions to ask, and how different services can work together before, during and after a death.

About Remember Well•
Remember Well• helps Australian families navigate every part of the process after someone passes away - from the first hours through to the final farewell and beyond. Our guided planner captures every decision and builds a summary document you can share directly with your funeral director, so you never have to repeat yourself in one of the hardest conversations you'll have.
We also offer a Plan Ahead tool for those who want to record their own wishes, store important documents, and leave a clear guide for the people they love, so their family never has to make every decision alone.
