Immediate Need
Whether you received a 2 a.m. phone call with news of an unexpected death or shared your loved one’s final moments of a long illness, your initial reaction to the death was likely shock. It doesn’t seem to matter how prepared we are – or aren’t – a loved one’s death often leaves us feeling numb and bewildered. If you’re responsible for making the funeral arrangements or executing the will, shock and grief can be immobilizing. Even simple decisions can be overwhelming.
When a Death Has Occurred
If a passing has occurred at a hospital, nursing home, or hospice, they can lead you through the proper steps and will begin to complete the death certificate. If the death has occurred at home, call 911 first to report it.
