  • Who notifies Social Security?

    Social Security gets notified when our Funeral Directors file your loved one's Death Certificate. 


    If there is a surviving spouse or dependent children, social security will still need to be called to receive death benefits. 


    Our Funeral Directos will assist you with their contact information.

  • Who Do We Call When a Death Occurs?

    If your loved one passes away while under the care of a facility, like a nursing home or hospital, the staff needs to be notified and they will contact your Funeral Home of choice on your behalf.


    If the death occurs while on hospice, let the hospice provider know your Funeral Home of choice and they will notify the Funeral Home of your loved ones passing.


    In the event that no one was present at the time of death, or your loved one dies at home when not on hospice, you will need to contact the police before calling a Funeral Home for transport. 

  • How do I get a Death Certificate?

    The Funeral Home is responsible for filing and ordering Death Certificates. 


    Funeral Homes in Washington can now only order Death Certificates for up to one year after your loved one's passing. 

  • Can I Pre-Pay for my Cremation or Funeral?

    Yes, someone can pre-pay for their own funeral arrangements ahead of time, however there is a specific way it needs to be done. 


    Funeral Homes cannot legally take yur money in advance. This is on case you were to move prior to your passing and need to utilize another Funeral Home at your time of death or a Funeral Home goes out of business. 


    We here can help you facilitate putting the money aside in a Final Expense Insurance policy. This policy can only be used for Funeral Expenses and is irrevocable and transferable to any Funeral Home. 


    Disclaimer: These policies cannot be issued to those on hospice. 


    Give us a call and we will gladly assist you in any pre-arrangements you would like to make.
