Where to Begin: Navigating the Initial Steps The initial moments following the passing of a loved one can be overwhelming and fraught with emotion. Whether the departure occurs at home or in a non-healthcare setting, the first priority is to contact emergency services for assistance. If the loved one was under medical care, reaching out to their physician is advisable as well.
In cases where the passing transpires in a healthcare facility, the authorities will handle the necessary notifications, including informing the chosen funeral home. During this sensitive period, emergency and medical personnel will offer invalu- able assistance in acquiring the required documentation and certificates.
