When Death Occurs In A Place Of Business
The police will have to be notified immediately. The police will be dispatched to the home or business and will place the call to the coroner and funeral home. From there, the funeral home will remove the body and transfer the body to the hospital morgue. The coroner or medical records at our local hospital must release the body before our funeral home can do anything.
