Dying in your home or public place

by Kelly Baltzell , M.A.

You come in from an errand.....a normal day, everything going pretty much as usual. Your loved one stayed home to watch T.V. or do a few things around the house.... You come in, see your loved one *napping* on the couch, think everything is fine. Even the puppy is at his/her feet sleeping. You walk around, put a few things up, etc...then something tells you everything isn't all right.

At The Death: When no prearrangment for funeral has been made.

by Susan Cox

When individuals or family members have not made funeral arrangements before the time of their death, usually family members call the funeral firm of their choice (which may not be the deceased's have the body taken to the funeral home of their choice. Later (within a day or two) the family makes the arrangements in an AT-Need Arrangement conference.
