Thomas I. Wisniewski Funeral Home
When Death Occurs

What to do, one step at a time.

The feelings of despair, disbelief, and shock that follow the loss of a loved one cannot be conveyed in words. When you're ready, these steps can help guide you.

  1. 01

    Notify the authorities

    If the death occurs at a care facility, the staff will handle notifications. For a death at home or work, contact a physician or emergency services first.

  2. 02

    Contact the funeral home

    Call us and our director will collect the necessary information, discuss arrangements, and ask about any pre-arrangements and embalming preferences.

  3. 03

    Meet with our staff

    Together we'll review service options, choose burial or cremation, select a casket, schedule services, and gather memorabilia to personalize the tribute.

  4. 04

    Obtain the death certificate

    This legal document records the cause of death and vital statistics. We can assist with filing; certified copies are needed to access accounts, claim benefits, and handle property.

At any hour, you can reach us at 419-531-4424.
