Frequently Asked Questions

Start with the location closest to where the death occurred or where services will be held. This brand has multiple locations, so confirm the address, phone number, and available service options for the specific branch before making plans.

If the death is unexpected, call emergency services first. If it occurs under hospice care, follow the hospice instructions. Then contact the funeral home to begin arrangements. They can explain transportation, required authorizations, and the next steps.

In many cases, yes. Families often choose simple cremation and then plan a memorial later. Ask the funeral home what options are available at your location, what paperwork is required, and how timing works for permits and authorizations.

If possible, have the full name of the person who died, date and place of death, and a way to reach the legal next of kin. Helpful details can include date of birth, Social Security number (if applicable), and preferences for burial or cremation.

Not always immediately, but documents can help the process. If you have them, bring any preplanning paperwork, cemetery deed information, and military discharge papers (DD214) for veterans benefits. The funeral home will tell you what is needed.

Yes. Many families ask for help drafting an obituary, confirming service details, and deciding where to publish. You can provide the basic facts and a few paragraphs about the person’s life, and the funeral home can help format and review it.

Timing depends on family needs, religious traditions, travel, and permit requirements. Some services happen within a few days; others are scheduled later to allow guests to attend. The funeral home can recommend a timeline based on your situation.
