Arrangements
When a death occurs, it can be difficult to think clearly and
rationally about what may be involved in making funeral arrangements. In order
to assist you, we have provided a list of some of the important information
needed when making the arrangements. You will find it helpful to review this
information prior to meeting with one of our funeral directors.
Necessary Information
The following information is required, by law, to complete the death
certificate:
-
Full Legal Name
-
Date of Birth
-
Marital Status and Name of Spouse
-
Father's Full Name and Mother's First and Maiden Name
-
Legal Residence
-
Years of Education
-
Social Security Number
-
State or Country of Birth
-
Last Occupation and Business or Industry of Occupation
Other helpful information to be brought in when making
arrangements:
-
Military Discharge Papers (Form DD 214)
-
List of Surviving Relatives for Newspaper Notice
-
Recent Photograph for Hair Styling and Memorial Folders
-
Insurance Papers (if used to pay for the funeral)
-
Clothing A full complement of clothing is utilized, including
undergarments, however shoes are not necessary. For women, a dress or outfit
closed at the neckline and long sleeves are desirable. For men, a suit or sport
coat is appropriate.
-
Personal Items Jewelry, eye glasses and fraternal or religious
items (lapel pins, medals, crosses, etc.) may be brought in when the
arrangements are made, or prior to the service.
On the day of the funeral, we will confirm which items you wish to
be left in the casket and which are to be removed and returned to the family.
