What happens if a loved one dies away from home?
This is a common concern and does happen from time to time. Who should I call? You should always call the funeral home you intend to handle the services, even if they are not in the area where the death occurred. For example: When someone has just passed away in another area such as Minneapolis or Arizona, a family may call the Brooks Funeral Home in Langdon, ND, who will arrange for the person to be picked up from the place of death and returned home. Will there be a delay in the funeral services? The process of returning someone home works smoothly when one funeral home is in charge of the transportation and the services. There is rarely a significant delay. Do we need to have the person in a casket to fly them home? No, there are items made especially for returning people home on airplanes. A casket is not necessary.
