What if a death occurs at a hospital or nursing facility?
The family may be required to sign a release at the hospital indicating that Christopher Mitchell Funeral Homes, Inc. is their funeral home of choice. At a nursing home, you should inform the nurses and make sure that this information is recorded in the patient’s chart for reference. No matter what the hospital or nursing home say regarding notification of the funeral home, it is always a good idea to notify the funeral home personally alerting the staff that the death has occurred.
