The death of a family member is an incredibly traumatic event, and we are here to support you during this difficult time. The following sections will outline the necessary steps to take when a death occurs.

Regardless of the time or location of the passing, it is crucial for the family to contact us as soon as possible. During this initial conversation, we will gather specific information such as the name and location of the deceased, the attending physician's details, and the next of kin's information. Additionally, we will inquire about the desired funeral service to promptly initiate any necessary procedures. If you are uncertain about the type of service, there is no pressure to make immediate decisions. We understand the importance of deliberation and will provide you with prices for various options well in advance, giving you the time and space to make informed choices. Finally, we will schedule a convenient appointment for you to make the actual arrangements.

In the unfortunate event of a death occurring in a hospital or nursing home, the family members typically have minimal responsibilities aside from contacting us directly. The healthcare facility will take all necessary steps to ensure compliance with legal requirements. While some healthcare facilities may notify us on the family's behalf, it is advisable for the family to reach out to us directly to ensure proper communication.

When a sudden death occurs outside of a healthcare facility, it is recommended to call 911 for immediate assistance from the local police. The police will assess the situation and take appropriate action accordingly. In cases where the death is nonsuspicious and concerns an apparently healthy individual, the police will contact the State Medical Examiner's office for further instructions. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the death, the Medical Examiner may order an autopsy. However, if the death is suspicious in nature, an autopsy is typically mandatory.

If the impending death of a family member is anticipated, it is wise to start considering final arrangements in advance. We are experienced in meeting with families before the actual passing to gather necessary information and discuss funeral services. By engaging in this preparatory process, your family is spared the overwhelming burden of making crucial decisions amidst the grief. To initiate the arrangement process, simply reach out to us via phone call.

When a death occurs, it is essential to gather information about the deceased to complete the required paperwork and plan for the funeral.
