When a death occurs at a hospital/nursing home/hospice facility
The staff of a care facility such as a hospital or a nursing home will notify you and the necessary authorities immediately after a death has occurred. Be sure the staff at the facility have our phone number and call us. You can also call us directly to ensure your peace of mind.

When death occurs at home or a place of business
