Deceased

Bereavement Processing Removing deceased individuals from marketing communications, not only reduces wasted mail costs for an organisation but also reduces the risk of causing emotional distress for the family of the deceased individuals. Mailing deceased individuals is the single largest cause of complaints to the Information Commissioners Office. The bereavement processing we use recognises the sensitivities associated with this subject and so utilises many of the recognised deceased files in the marketplace to provide as comprehensive a coverage of the UK's deceased population as possible: Mortality Suppressions from Experian This Experian file is a composite file of proprietary Experian deceased data and public record information to which Experian can append an address. There are over 1.8m individuals on the file, many of whom are not included on other commercially available sources. Mortascreen Plus The Mortascreen file is predominantly sourced from the UK probate registries and contains approximately 4.9m records. A person's estate goes into probate when the value is over £5,000 in England and Wales, and over £15,000 in Scotland. The file is further supplemented with insurance data, funeral directors' information, freepost forms that are issued to the deceased person's family for completion at the time of death registration, and mail returns marked as deceased. Mortascreen Plus is a sub set of this file, and contains only deceased information that has been verified. Registry Deceased Trust This file is sourced from the Registry Trust and contains details relating to individuals that have passed away whilst in the County Court Judgement process.
