Forms

We have curated a list of forms that you may need to complete when a death occurs in your family. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Registration of Death

If the deceased was being treated for a serious or terminal illness, and there is no Notification of Expected Death in the Home form, their doctor or RN need to attend the deceased to pronounce death before the funeral home can be called.

Notification of Expected Death In The Home

The deceased will be brought to the hospital morgue for sheltering. The family must call the funeral home to advise us of the death during normal business hours. Prior to transferring the deceased from the hospital to the funeral home, the funeral director will meet with the family to make arrangements and to sign a hospital release form.

Advance Planning Form

As care homes and hospices are not hospitals, they do not have the ability to shelter the deceased on site. Accordingly, the care home staff will contact the funeral home to advise of the death and request that the deceased be transferred into the care of the funeral home immediately. It is for this specific reason that it is very important that families choose their funeral provider at the time of admission to the facility.
