[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her body needs to be moved to a funeral home.  A good funeral home can help with many of the details.
Depending on the state, the funeral home may help you with the death certificate. That needs to happen in most states before cremation.
Pick a time and place for cremation with the funeral home. Does the cremation need to be announced?
Do you want to see your mom before cremation? Would you like to bring her clothes to wear?
Obituary (many people use legacy which is on line, again funeral home might be able to help).[/quote]

The funeral home will pick up her body.  I don’t need to see her body.  She was dressed when she died.  I think she can just wear those clothes?  I could call and ask the person who found her what she was wearing but I am not sure it matters.[/quote]

If clothes don’t matter, then okay, nothing to worry about. Sounds like you have already selected a funeral home which is a major part of the decisions. I’d call them and talk through what happens. This is their job and they do it everyday. [/quote]
