To arrange a pickup for your loved one, you must contact the proper authorities. A legal pronouncement of death must be made. If your loved one passes away in a medical or nursing facility, such as a hospital or nursing home, the staff will handle arranging this declaration. If your loved one passes away at home, you should immediately contact the appropriate local authorities for guidance on the necessary steps to have the death legally pronounced. If your loved one passes away while under hospice care, hospice staff can typically assist with the pronouncement of death.


This legal declaration must be completed before the family can proceed with funeral arrangements or handle any related legal matters.
