Relatives or friends of a man who passed away recently are being asked to get in touch with the City of Wolverhampton Council’s Court of Protection Team so that his funeral can be arranged.

Alan Thomas Osborne, who was 51, was born in Wolverhampton and lived in Pendeford.

Anyone who is related to Mr Osborne or has any information which may help trace his relatives is asked to please call Protection and Funerals Officer Diane Dore on 07919 626117 or 01902 550095 or email her either via diane.dore@wolverhampton.gov.uk or court.ofprotecton@wolverhampton.gov.uk as soon as possible.

The council makes appeals of this nature as it believes that families and acquaintances of the deceased should be notified and be given the opportunity to get involved with the funeral arrangements, should they wish to.
