- Postmortems.
- Preparing the body for burial
Funeral Home Policies and Procedures Procedure for Accepting Bodies
The funeral home receives bodies for preservation from our own wards, as well as homes and other facilities. To accommodate a body from home, the funeral home must first receive a Notification of Death from the community registration agent (assistant chief) or from the National Police Occurrence Book (OB), which can be accessed by all police jurisdictions.
Permits
- The Notification of Death for bodies brought from home is to be issued by the community registration agent (assistant chief).
- If a body comes from another medical facility, that facility must provide the Notification of Death.
- There is one exception. We can issue a Notification of Death for a body coming from another facility when our funeral home conducts the postmortem.
Procedures for Releasing Bodies
Before a body can be released from the funeral home, the Outpatient department must clear the body and the Records Office must issue a Burial Permit.
Benefactors
Our funeral home was made possible by donations from Ken Goldenberg’s People Helping People Foundation and the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ, USA.
