Death out of State

If the death occurs outside of New Jersey, you should call GardenHill Funeral Director Services at (973) 675-8401. We can coordinate with a local funeral director at the place of death. No matter where death takes place or burial is desired, the trained funeral directors at GardenHill Funeral Director Services Inc. know what to do. If you are ever confronted with this seemingly perplexing problem of what to do when death occurs, let GardenHill Funeral Director Services Inc. have the opportunity to serve you by giving us a call to give us the facts and express your desires.

 

Death Away from Home

When funeral arrangements must unexpectedly be made away from home, GardenHill Funeral Director Services Inc. will assist you in any way that we can.

WHAT TO DO FIRST

Call GardenHill Funeral Director Services Inc. at (973) 675-8401 day or night. It is not usually necessary for you to contact an out-of-state funeral home. We can do this for you. We will make the arrangements necessary to transport the deceased to the out-of-state funeral home for embalming, preparation, and return to New Jersey. We will need some basic information from you, and we will ask you to call us upon your return to New Jersey to set a time for an arrangement conference.

Death in an institution

When the death occurs at a hospital or nursing home, the medical staff should take care of all necessary legal steps. You just need to notify the medical staff that GardenHill Funeral Director Services Inc. is the funeral home handling arrangements so they can have you sign any necessary release paperwork.

Unanticipated death at home or elsewhere

In these situations, immediately call 911. The police and emergency medical personnel will then determine the appropriate steps to be taken. In certain cases, the body may need to go to the Medical Examiner's office so that they can determine the cause of death.
