IMMEDIATE NEED – Death Has Occured
We can help whether a death just occurred or you expect it might happen soon. You can call Ms. Ngaio Davis in Vancouver at 604-324-8285 or Wendy Rée in North Vancouver at 604-770-1471 twenty-four hours a day for help with an immediate death.
For all other inquiries our hours of business are Monday to Friday from 10am – 5pm and by appointment. We invite you to call or email us to talk about your situation, our pricing and to help you determine if you’d like our help. If you’d rather have that initial conversation in person, we can meet with you wherever you are most comfortable. Having a conversation involves no fees nor does it oblige you to hire us.
What do I have to do next?
Actually, very little needs to happen immediately. Whatever the scope of your feelings about this death, we encourage you to be with your emotions, be with your dead and let this new reality sink in.
Though it may not feel this way to you right now, a death is not an emergency. You do not need to immediately call 911 or arrange to have the deceased ‘taken away’. Depending on where the death occurs, you can just be with them and with each other before you take the next steps. Unless you’ve planned to care for the deceased yourself in your own home, the immediate next step usually involves moving the deceased.
After that, your big categories of choice are cremation or burial (disposition is the legal term) and what is a fitting goodbye ceremony? Read More
