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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
