Questions families ask us
Someone just died at home. What do I do first?
If the death was expected and hospice was involved, call the hospice nurse first, then call us at (555) 017 3300. If it was unexpected, call 911. We answer at any hour and will tell you exactly what happens next.
How long does cremation take?
Most families have remains returned in seven to ten days. The state requires a waiting period and a signed death certificate, and we keep you updated by text the whole time.
Can we still have a viewing?
Yes. A private family viewing before cremation can be added to any package for $395.
Are there any fees not shown here?
Only if you ask for something extra, like additional certificates at $25 each or transfer from more than 50 miles away. We will tell you the cost before you agree to anything.
Do you help with Social Security and life insurance?
Yes. We notify Social Security for you, and we can bill a life insurance policy directly so you do not pay out of pocket.
We are here, day or night.
