Fairlight Bereavement Administration

Taking Care of Life's Last To-Do List, So You Can Focus on What Matters Most.

Practical Administrative Support For Families Navigating Loss.

Supporting families in managing the paperwork and admin that comes after losing someone close.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Grief is hard enough without the overwhelming admin that follows.

At Fairlight Bereavement Administration, we help take the load off by handling the practical to-do list after someone dies. Whether it’s closing accounts, redirecting mail, or helping an executor get everything in order—we provide calm, professional support during a time when it’s most needed.

How We Can Help

Every situation is different.

Let’s talk about what you need.

Meet Michelle

With 15+ years in admin and firsthand experience of how overwhelming death admin can be, I founded Fairlight to bring clarity and kindness to families navigating loss.

Common Questions, Answered

Do I need to be the executor to use this service?

Not at all—any family member or support person can reach out.

Is this only for recent deaths?

No. Even months or years later, we can help untangle the backlog.

What does it cost?

We offer tailored quotes based on your situation. There are no surprises.
