When Someone Has Just Died
The first hours can feel overwhelming. You do not have to decide everything at once. In most cases the immediate steps are:
- Make sure the death is officially pronounced. Under hospice care, call the hospice nurse. In a hospital or care facility, staff handle this. If the death was unexpected, call 911.
- Choose a funeral home and let the hospital, hospice or facility know. The funeral home brings your loved one into its care.
- Gather basic information for the death certificate and look for any written wishes or pre-arrangements.
Understand Funeral Costs Before You Decide
Funeral homes must give you an itemized General Price List under the FTC Funeral Rule, and you can choose only the goods and services you want. Start with a realistic range, then compare price lists.
