Here in Coffs Harbour, our compassionate team has walked alongside local families for generations, helping them find their footing in these tender moments. This Resources hub is your practical starting point. Whether you want to download the right forms, check what to do next or simply talk to a real person, we’re here to support you.
When a loved one passes, it feels as though time stands still for your family, but the administrative clock doesn’t stop. Forms, notifications and deadlines begin ticking quietly in the background, leaving many families feeling lost about where to start.
Without the right guidance, it’s easy for small details to snowball. A missed form can delay estate settlements. A skipped notification can stall superannuation or benefit claims. And redoing paperwork at a time when you’re already carrying so much, can feel overwhelming.
The team at Keith Logue & Sons helps families across Coffs Harbour and beyond take those first few steps with calm, clear direction, so nothing important slips through the cracks and you can focus on planning a meaningful goodbye.
Grief doesn’t follow a checklist, but the paperwork, unfortunately, does. We’ve created a straightforward guide so you know where to begin. From applying for a death certificate to notifying government agencies, these steps are designed to ease the administrative load so you can focus on honouring your loved one. Here’s where to start:
Apply for the death certificate.
Notify key agencies such as Services Australia, Transport NSW and the ATO.
Contact your funeral director to guide you through arrangements.
Refer to our quick links for costs, registrations, and grief support.

Most families feel that way and that’s completely okay. We can guide you through every form, or even manage it on your behalf if you prefer. While we handle the paperwork, you can focus on planning a funeral that honours your loved one, choosing flowers, or personalising the service with music, readings and meaningful rituals.
