at home with family or friends present, and the person is under a physician’s care, the family will want to call us directly.
However, if the death occurs in a residence and no one is there at the time of death, the police will need to be notified and respond to the residence before the deceased is removed from their home.
While Under Supervised Care
When a death occurs in a care facility, such as a hospital or nursing home, the professional staff will notify you and the necessary authorities. If the name of the funeral home has been left with them, the institution will notify the funeral home at the time of the death. The funeral director will contact you immediately following their notification to help you proceed.
(However, we suggest you contact the funeral home immediately, so you have the reassurance you need that all is being taken care of properly.)
If a loved one was in the care of a hospice program, a hospice representative will give family members instructions and procedures to follow. Following their release the hospice will contact the funeral home. It is always a good idea for the family to contact us immediately so that we will be aware of the pending call from hospice.
When a death occurs out of State or Country
Our professional staff will make arrangements to transfer your family member back to Connecticut and provide funeral services. Abraham L. Green and Son Funeral Home is well versed in handling this most delicate and complicated situation.
Over the years, we have forged relationships with Jewish funeral homes throughout the country and Canada to assist us in the event of an out of state
death. Through our extensive contacts with well-respected funeral homes we can assist families in areas in which there is no Jewish funeral home available.
A call to our funeral home will begin the process of making a very difficult situation bearable.
What if the burial is going to take place out of State?
Many families in our community have reserved cemetery plots in our neighboring states including New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania. Our professional staff is available to conduct services concluding with burial at your chosen cemetery without the need for a second funeral home. We regularly arrange burials with cemeteries in the Tri-State area and have developed strong professional relationships with all of the staff and associations.
Widening the Circle
Our staff members are experienced professionals who can provide much of the information you need, emotional support and compassionate guidance.
While you may ask the director any questions at this time, you will be able to discuss the arrangements in detail later when you meet in person. During this initial call, the funeral director will gather information to be able to transport your loved one to the funeral home.
The funeral director may ask you several questions, including whether your loved one made any pre-arrangements. The director will also schedule a date and time for you to meet at the funeral home and will let you know what you should bring with you.
Those Important Questions
