When a loved one dies at home, and they have been under medical treatment during
the last three months, you should contact the doctor concerned. You may also wish
to call your minister. Once the doctor has been informed, you may call your funeral
director to collect the deceased from the place of death.
If the death is due to unnatural causes, or was not expected, the police have to
be called to the scene. If they are of the opinion that the death is due to other
than natural causes, arrangements will be made by them to transport the deceased
to the nearest State Mortuary. The deceased would need to be formally identified
at the mortuary prior to the release of the deceased to a funeral director. Anyone
who knew the deceased can do the identification, so long as they are in possession
of the deceased’s ID book, as well as their own. Collinge & Co. will make arrangements
to take the person doing the ID to the state mortuary to assist them during this
time.
Speak to your funeral director regarding the funeral arrangements. Our suggestion
is that you allow a short period time to pass between the time of death, and arranging
the funeral. We have found that doing the funeral arrangements with a few hours
of the death is detrimental to the family, as a person’s mental state is not one
that will allow decisions to be made coherently, leaving the family more susceptible
to coercion. Please remember that our staff is available at any time of the day
or night. The family will find that they will get peace of mind once the funeral
director has become involved.
