  The Deceased Preference Service has been set up in response to many requests from people who have been bereaved. The purpose of the service is to help you stop unwelcome post addressed to your deceased loved one, and to assist companies in combating criminal fraud which may be committed in the name of the deceased.

The service is free of charge and easy to use. We make sure that the information you supply is forwarded to the largest possible number of companies providing goods and services to the public. These companies then use this information to stop any further communications addressed to the deceased, and to identify any possible fraudulent use of their details, such as loan or passport applications.

The details you provide will remain on this file indefinitely and will only be used to help stop mail, and combat 'identity theft'.
