The 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.

Kenneth Costello, who was 71, had lived in the Parkfield area of Wolverhampton.

Anyone who is related to Mr Costello, or who has any information which may help trace his relatives, is asked to call Protection and Funerals Officer Jenna Vickers on 07919 626076 or 01902 551238 or email jenna.vickers@wolverhampton.gov.uk. 

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 do so.
