Action necessary immediately after death.

If death occurs at home, notify the deceased’s doctor who will (providing the doctor has recently been in attendance) certify death and issue a medical certificate to the funeral director.

When death occurs accidentally, in unusual circumstances, or the deceased person has not recently had medical attention, a doctor will be unable to give such a certificate. The doctor who pronounced life extinct, or the relatives, should immediately contact the nearest police station, who will notify the coroner. The coroner will arrange for a doctor to carryout an examination and issue the necessary certificate. If death occurs at the hospital, the hospital authorities will provide the necessary certificate for the funeral director, who can now be contact and who will take care of all the formalities.

Should death occur at home, it is important for us to attend and remove the deceased without delay for the family’s sake- as the deceased is the focal point of shock and grief, and for this reason we will answer your call at any time, day or night, throughout the year. This is done with discretion, avoiding embarrassment to the family.

Service is something more felt by it’s absence than it’s presence, for true service is never obtrusive. Ours is a profession dedicated to such thoughtful service. The alleviation of bereavement in every way possible without intrusion, without being ostentatious.
