1.  Death in a hospital

Although you may feel that you need to choose a Funeral Provider quickly, you have time. 

It is important to spend the time you need with your loved one before this happens. Allow yourself time to make an informed decision when choosing funeral services.

2.  Death in an Aged Care Facility

Usually the staff will call the nominated Funeral Provider of your choice and liaise with them to organise the transfer of your loved one. 

3.  Death at home

A death at home needs to be verified prior to a Funeral Provider taking your person into their care.  

If the death was expected, phone their doctor or palliative care nurse.  

If the death was unexpected, call 000 for an ambulance.  The police may need to be called - ambulance staff will take care of this. Your person may need to be taken to the Coroner if this is required, the police will make these arrangements.  

You will need to contact the Funeral Provider of your choice to notify them and they will liaise with the Coroner.  You have time to make the decision of a Funeral Provider.
