[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry for the headline, I couldnt' think of a better one. An elderly relative is in hospice care at home and [b]may pass away tonight. [/b]Their spouse has made no arrangements and is too distraught so I offered to help. I left a message for a funeral home, but not surprising they haven't called back yet as it's a holiday. When they pass away, what happens? Do we need to call an ambulance to come and certify they have passed? Or the funeral home and they come right away to pick it up? I figure once we get them stored at the funeral home/morgue, then that will buy time for the spouse to figure out actual funeral arrangements. I'm just trying to figure out the first step as this is all new to me.[/quote]The hospice nurse can tell you how close they actually are to death.[/quote] OP here. They said tonight or tomorrow. They're on constant morphine at this point I was told. Cancer.[/quote]
