When Death Occurs Away from Home
Dedicated to providing unsurpassed care to all.
Our society is very mobile. People travel extensively and sometimes families experience the problems that are created when a death occurs away from home.
Because of our extensive experience in caring for families, let us suggest a few ideas when this event happens:
If you are away from home and a family member dies, the easiest procedure is to call Whitaker Funeral Home immediately. We have the capability to handle every detail from our office and you will have the peace of mind that someone from home is helping you.
Our funeral home has professional contacts all across the country. We can notify the necessary authorities, engage a funeral service colleague, take care of all the paper work and arrange for all transportation for your loved one and your family. If the death or burial is in a foreign country, our network of international associates is an invaluable help. We will handle all the documentation necessary for the foreign consulates.
To insure that you are protected, we suggest that before you travel, call us or stop by to receive an identification care with our phone number on it. This number will assist you with expert care in the event of a death out of town.
If case you are accessing us by way of the Web, our phone number is (803) 276-5000.
