FAQs

  • What is the first thing I need to do when a death occurs?

    First, give yourself time to take in what has happened. You can call a family member or a friend to let them know. After that, contact the deceased’s regular doctor, and once you have spoken to the doctor, contact the funeral home.

  • What happens when someone dies in a hospital or nursing home?

    If death occurs at a public hospital, the medical staff there usually completes the required formalities and certificates. It will then be still up to the family to contact the funeral home. If death occurs in a nursing home or private hospital and you are not present, the staff will contact the next of kin.

  • What should I bring when I meet with the funeral director?

    1) A supportive friend or family member 2) Information required for the funeral home to register the death with the Registrar – for example, date of birth and date of marriage, birth dates of children, parents’ names and places of birth 3) Clothes you wish the deceased to be dressed in (including makeup if you desire) 4) A photograph to be used for Memorial Cards or Bookmarks 5) Favourite music of the deceased 6) Prepaid funeral plan documents or grave lease details, if applicable.

  • Should I have a viewing?

    Spending private time with the deceased person, before the funeral, can be beneficial for family and close friends. A viewing provides an opportunity to talk to the deceased, or just to have some special time alone, with the coffin. It also helps the bereaved to accept the often painful reality of death, and to see that the deceased is now at peace.

  • Is cremation cheaper than burial?

    Generally cremation is less expensive than burial. However, you can discuss the matter with a funeral director who will be able to advise you of the exact cost.

  • Is the coffin cremated with the body, including the handles and fittings?

    Yes, the coffin is cremated with the body. Some metal handles and fittings may be removed because of the adverse effect their chemical composition can have on cremation chambers.
