If your loved one passes away while under the care of a facility, such as a hospital, nursing home, or hospice, staff will usually contact you and take care of notifying the appropriate authorities. You can focus on being with your loved one and your family during this time.

If the death occurs at home or in the workplace, contact 911. Emergency personnel will respond, determine the cause of death, and complete the necessary legal documents. This ensures everything is handled respectfully and according to the law.

In the rare case that no one was present at the time of death, call 911 before moving your loved one. Remember, you are not alone, help is available, and professionals are there to guide you through these first steps.

Losing a loved one is one of life’s most difficult experiences, and the first steps can feel overwhelming. Your funeral home is here to provide guidance, support, and care during this time.

When you call, our compassionate staff can help with:

• Answering questions about what to do immediately following a death
• Arranging transfer of your loved one’s remains to our care
• Explaining options for burial, cremation, green burial, and memorial services
• Providing guidance on documents such as death certificates and other legal requirements
• Offering emotional support and listening to your concerns with understanding and empathy

Our goal is to help you navigate this process with care, clarity, and compassion, so you can focus on honoring and remembering your loved one.

Our compassionate funeral director is here to guide you through every step of honoring your loved one. Whether you choose burial, cremation, or a green burial, we will help you plan meaningful services that reflect their life and legacy.

From the first call to your visit at the funeral home, we are here to answer your questions, provide guidance, and support you at your own pace. We will also help you with details such as items for the service and any special requests you may have.

We are here to listen, comfort, and assist you with care, compassion, and understanding during this very difficult time.

A death certificate is an official document recording your loved one’s cause of death and other vital information. It is signed by the attending physician or, in cases of accidents, by a coroner or medical examiner.

We can assist you in obtaining the certificate and certified copies, which are often needed for bank accounts, insurance claims, Veterans’ benefits, and property matters. Our goal is to help you handle these details with care so you can focus on honoring your loved one.
