Wayne Russell Funeral Service

At Wayne Russell Funeral Service, located in Charlotte, NC, we understand that the process of navigating the details and decisions following a death can be overwhelming. That's why we are dedicated to providing you with all the information you need to make informed choices during this difficult time.

Every situation is unique, and the necessary steps will depend on the circumstances and location of the death. We want to ensure that you have a clear understanding of your options so that you can make the decisions that are best for you and your family.

In the unfortunate event of an unanticipated death at home or elsewhere, we recommend contacting 911 immediately. The authorities, along with emergency medical personnel, will assess the situation and determine the appropriate steps to take. In most cases, the remains can be released directly to Wayne Russell Funeral Service for necessary preparations. However, there are instances where the remains may need to be taken to the Medical Examiner's office for further investigation.

If the death occurs in an institution such as a hospital or care home, the medical staff will typically handle the necessary legal procedures. You'll simply need to inform them that Wayne Russell Funeral Service is handling the arrangements. Some legal release paperwork may need to be completed by you.

For those who are facing an anticipated death at home, under the care of Hospice, we recommend informing Hospice that Wayne Russell Funeral Service has been chosen as your funeral home. Hospice will then oversee the necessary legal requirements. Planning ahead in these situations can alleviate additional stress and difficult decisions at the time of death.

In the unfortunate circumstance of a death occurring out-of-state, please reach out to us at our Charlotte location. Wayne Russell Funeral Service can coordinate with a local funeral director at the place of death to facilitate the transfer of your loved one. Our expertise in these matters can often help save families money by efficiently managing all necessary arrangements.
