If your loved one passes away in a facility such as a nursing home or hospital, the staff will notify you and the appropriate authorities. If the death occurs at home or in the workplace, contact their physician or emergency medical personnel to establish the cause of death for legal documents. If no one was present at the time of death, you must contact the police before moving the deceased to another location.

Our caring funeral director will assist with your arrangements, gathering necessary information and facilitating the transfer of your loved one’s remains. We'll inquire about any pre-arrangements and your preferences for embalming. During this call, we'll inform you of items to bring, like burial clothing. Feel free to ask any questions; more details can be discussed during your visit. We're here to listen, help, and guide you through this difficult time.

When someone dies in a hospital or other facility, the caregivers and staff will help coordinate the discharge process. You may need to clarify whether the facility will be notifying your funeral home of choice of the death or if you need to contact them. The time frame for your loved one being released into the funeral home’s care may vary, but the staff should keep you updated throughout the process. Most hospice facilities will pre-arrange end of life plans and coordinate all of the details for you after a death occurs.
