→Making arrangements with a funeral home
Once a funeral home is selected, a “Notification of Expected Home Death” form can be completed. This form authorizes the funeral home to remove the body from the home without “'''pronouncement of death'''” by a healthcare professional. For more details, see the section “[[Immediately After Someone Dies#Pronouncement of death|Pronouncement of death]]”.
The notification form can be found at [http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/accessing-health-care/home-community-care/care-options-and-cost/end-of-life-care/expected-planned-home-deaths www.gov.bc.ca/expectedhomedeathnotification form is available online]. It is completed by the doctor of the person approaching end of life and sent to the funeral home before the death.
