You should find out if the dead person has already paid for a lair in a churchyard or cemetery. This may be mentioned in the Will or be known to the family, solicitor or minister. You should give the details to your funeral director. If not, you will have to purchase a new lair and fees will vary.
Many obsessive hoarders need a push to help them realise what good quality of life they could have if they only worked to overcome their condition. Once they realise this, they can enlist the help of professionals to undertake a complete house clearance, going some way to supporting them in their goal of becoming clutter free.
Those battling obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and in particular a problem with hoarding, are driven by what one psychologist has called “the allure of opportunity” on Alltop.com.

A local buy-to-let landlord who owned several properties in the Huyton area contacted us and asked us to clear one of her properties. We knew this client quite well as we’d done two previous jobs for her – we’re always pleased to get repeat custom. The property in question was a large four-bedroomed, detached Victorian house in the suburbs.
The collection includes a postcard dated to 1917, showing the Green and the pub; a picture of a gentlemen working in a bicycle shed next to the post office, dated to the 1930s; and a village shot turned into a Christmas card from the 1950s.
The devices were discovered in a house in Northumberland after the elderly owner died. Experts called in by the family were clearing the home when they came across the devices and immediately telephoned the police.
A 200-year-old love letter, written in French, has been discovered in one of the items found during a house clearance.
Our client for this house clearance owned a second-floor, two-bedroomed property in a large block of flats built in the mid-1990s near East Chevington centre. He had been letting it out to tenants for a number of years, but the latest set of occupants had left it in very poor condition with damaged furniture, stained carpets and torn curtains.
