Coun- See BRIDGE, Page 5A We Are Here to Help Answer All Your Questions! Who do I call fi rst? When a death is unexpected and a person is not on hospice, nor in a licensed care facility, your fi rst phone call may be to the funeral home. However, the police must be notifi ed fi rst. Often the funeral home will call and notify the police for you. Once police are notifi ed, they will come to the place of death and assess things. They will also contact EMT to come and certify the time and that a death has occurred. Afterward, the police may phone the nearest funeral home to assist in transportation of the individual. In certain cases, the medical examiner’s deputy may also be requested at the scene to determine if an autopsy may be required. In other cases, an autopsy may not be necessary. If family wishes to pursue an autopsy, they should notify the funeral director. Is embalming required? No. Only in certain circumstances. Embalming is required in cases of communicable disease or prolonged public viewing (6 hours or longer). Most often times the funeral home will utilize mortuary refridgeration, as required after the fi rst 24 hours of death.
