| As a professional involved in the funeral industry you will be more than aware of the effects that untimely reminders can have on the bereaved during a period of mourning. Receiving a letter addressed to a loved one who has passed away is perhaps one of the worst things that can happen. The bereaved have a variety of ways to register the details of their family or friend onto The Bereavement Register, either via the Registrar of Births, Marriages and Deaths; the DirectGov website or simply by using the wallet provided by the NAFD. Experience has shown us, however, that they prefer to have this taken care of by a professional. By registering the details of the deceased onto The Bereavement Register, any company involved in direct marketing will be able to stop any future communications with them. At the beginning of 2005, more than 75% of companies involved in this form of marketing subscribed to The Bereavement Register service. In total, more than 50 million pieces of direct mail have been stopped; mail which would otherwise have been sent to the deceased. If you would like to help us in preventing direct mail being sent to the deceased, you can register their details by clicking on the link provided. If you would like to return to this site for future registrations, please register the details of your organisation first. This will save you time later on and will help us with future development.
