These days, many people die in a hospital or a nursing home environment. When this occurs, the hospital or nursing home staff takes care of the medical necessities and requirements.
When a person dies at home with support from hospice or palliative care services, the ‘on duty’ staff will help with the formalities such as notifying the treating doctor.
The staff from these health services will help you and even call the funeral director on your behalf to arrange the transfer of the person who died, to the funeral home.
When an unexpected death occurs in a home, hospital or public place then that death may be referred to the State Coroner’s Office. At this point, you may require the more immediate assistance of a Funeral Director.
