Funeral Checklist

When death occurs outside of a hospital or hospice, you must notify authorities to have death pronounced. (Call 911 if police or paramedics are not present.)
Make a “first call” to Henderson County Cremation Services of Tennessee and we will arrange transportation of your loved one with no obligation.
Notify family and close friends.
Delegate someone to help you notify other friends and organizations and someone to care for dependents and/or pets.
Notify the person’s employer and inquire about pay due or benefits such as life insurance.
Locate the will and any pre-planned or pre-paid funeral arrangements.
Locate any life insurance policies on the decedent.
Select funeral home, mortuary or funeral director.
