what to do when someone dies in medicine hat

When someone dies, even if it is expected, there are many decisions, arrangements and phone calls that need to be made. Often, while dealing with grief, this can be an overwhelming and complicated process for the family of the deceased. The decisions of what to do when someone dies, where to turn and who to call are difficult but necessary. What do you do first? We hope that our resources will help you through this difficult time. Our hope is to help you deal with the many details of tending to the deceased. For example, tending to their physical care, contacting the correct people and organizing a fitting and meaningful ceremony. If your loved one that passed has not expressed their wishes with a signed legal will, the proper and legal order of precedence is to be followed for outlining who is in fact responsible for their final care.  At Saamis Memorial Chapel, we have the funeral home facilities to offer a variety of services for the loved one you have entrusted into our care.
