For the family members left behind, death is not only seen as an emotional matter but a legal matter, too. Since both life and death are full of legalities, you will be required to completely fill in some important documents. Based on our experience, the first thing to do when it comes to preparing for the final part of the burial of your loved one is to get cremation or burial permit as well as the death certificate.
The burial permit and the death certificate should be completed with the correct details. So, when you are bringing in the document for completion, make sure that you have following documents with you:
- The birth certificate of the deceased, or if you don’t have it, you should at least know their parents names including the maiden name of their mother.
- Their SSN (Social Security Number
- The discharge papers of the deceased issued by the military
- The funeral pre-arrangement document, if available
- Revocable living trust
- Attorney or Durable power or for healthcare of the deceased
- Testament and any Codicils or last will
- Cemetery information, if available
Those are the key documents that you will need to bring along when visiting our funeral home to take care of the last rights for the deceased. If you still aren’t sure where you can get these documents, or you probably have any question regarding these documents, kindly
