Notify Proper Authorities

• If your loved one passes away while under the care of a facility—such as a nursing home or a hospital—staff from the facility will contact you and notify appropriate authorities themselves.
• If the death occurred in the workplace or at home, you will need to get in touch with his/her physician or emergency medical personnel, as the cause of death must be identified and indicated in legal documents.
• In the event that no one was present at the time of death, you will need to contact the police before moving the deceased to another location.

Call The Funeral Home

Our caring funeral director can assist you with your funeral arrangements. We will collect information from you to facilitate the transfer of your loved one’s remains to our facility. You would also be asked if the deceased has made pre-arrangements and whether or not you’d like for him/her to be embalmed. While of course you can ask any questions you have in your mind during this call, note that once you visit the funeral home, we can discuss the arrangements in greater detail.

During this call, you’ll also be informed about the things that you need to bring with you, like the clothes your deceased loved one will use for the burial. You are welcome to call us whenever you feel the need to. Remember that we are here to listen to you, help you, and guide you during this difficult and trying time.

Meet The Funeral Director/Staff

On your first meeting with us, we will discuss the arrangements for your loved one’s burial. We will present you with a list of our packages and services, enabling you to select the one that best suits your family's preferences and budget. We will ask whether you prefer burial or cremation arrangements. Additionally, you will have the option to select a casket, schedule a time and date for the services, decide on the burial location, draft an obituary notice, arrange for vehicle services, and select pallbearers.

We will also take this opportunity to learn more about your loved one so we can better honor them during the service. It would be extremely helpful if you could bring some memorabilia—such as photos, videos, treasured items, or letters—that might provide us with a clearer understanding of how you envision paying tribute to your loved one.

File For A Death Certificate

A death certificate is a legal document indicating the cause of death, including other vital statistics pertaining to the deceased, signed by the attending physician. In case your loved one died due to an accident, a coroner or the county medical examiner may prepare the form. We can help you file this legal document with the state if you need it. Certified copies of the death certificate can also be purchased at the same time. These certified copies are important when gaining access to bank accounts and safety deposit boxes, claiming benefits due to the family (like the Veteran’s benefits or insurance claims), and transferring or selling ownership of properties.
