WHEN A DEATH OCCURS
AT HOME OR AT WORK
However, if the death occurs in a residence and no one is there at the time of death, the police will need to be notified and respond to the residence before the deceased is removed from their home.
If in any case you are not sure of who to notify or what to do, you may call (703) 549-0089, and we’ll assist you in notifying the proper agencies.

WHILE UNDER SUPERVISED CARE
If a loved one was in the care of a hospice program, a hospice representative will give family members instructions and procedures to follow. The coroner/medical examiner will be notified by hospice. Following their release the hospice will contact the funeral home. It is always a good idea for the family to contact us immediately so that we will be aware of the pending call from hospice.

WIDENING THE CIRCLE
While you may ask the director any questions at this time, you will be able to discuss the arrangements in detail later when you meet in person. During this initial call, the funeral director will gather information to be able to transport your loved one to the funeral home.
The funeral director may ask you several questions, including whether your loved one made any pre-arrangements. The director will also schedule a date and time for you to meet at the funeral home and will let you know what you should bring with you. Others you will need to call are:
– Family members and friends
– Clergy or other spiritual advisors

THOSE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
– Do I have to have embalming?
– Do I need to purchase a casket?
– What about cemetery arrangements?
– Does the family have to engage the services of a minister?
– What type of service should we have?
By contacting our staff, we’ll be able to help answer your questions and assist in making the appropriate plans. You can reach us at (703) 549-0089.
However, as we’ve said before, one of the best ways to make sure that all of your questions and desires are taken care of is to make pre-arrangements. This is as simple as outlining your wishes to having all of the details written down and the financial arrangements prepaid. Please contact one of our staff at (703) 549-0089 to learn more about pre-arrangement.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT THE FUNERAL HOME
One of the first things the funeral arranger will do is to provide you with our general price list. He or she will then guide you through the entire arrangement process, explaining how you can create a memorable personal celebration of your loved one’s life. This is not a one-way conversation; we want to hear your ideas and desires, and use them as the foundation for the arrangement process.
This process may include:
– Preparing and filing the official death certificate
– Scheduling the location, date and time of services or events
– Selecting a casket, urn or other items
– Preparing an obituary notice
– Scheduling vehicles
– Selecting pallbearers
You may also sign necessary authorizations or make arrangements to have them signed by the appropriate family members.
We’d like you to bring any photos, a favorite song, or memorabilia so that you and your funeral arranger can better discuss how you would like your loved one to be remembered. Having these things, and knowing their favorite song or favorite gathering place – even their favorite activity – will help us create a truly fitting memorial service.
Our funeral arrangers will assist you in planning a loving tribute that captures the spirit of the person whose life you wish to honor. To learn more about personalizing the service, please read the Honoring Life section of this Web site. The funeral arranger will discuss personalization with you during your arrangement conference.
The following checklist will help you remember what information about the decedent and items will be needed when meeting with a funeral arranger.
– Full legal name- Home address
