When a passing occurs

What happens next in Anaheim.

The process depends on where the passing takes place. Here's what to do in each situation.

If the passing occurs at a hospital in Anaheim

The hospital's care team will pronounce death and notify their decedent affairs team. From there, you'll need to designate a cremation provider — that's when you call us.

  1. Call us at (714) 788-5572. We'll take basic information and coordinate directly with the hospital.
  2. You do not need to be present at the hospital when we arrive. We handle the transfer with dignity and professionalism.
  3. The hospital will release your loved one to us once paperwork is complete — usually within a few hours.

For Kaiser Anaheim, AHMC, or West Anaheim Medical Center, expect us within 45-60 minutes during business hours. For residence pickups anywhere from the Anaheim Hills area to the Platinum Triangle, we arrive within 2-3 hours.

If the passing occurs at a residence in Anaheim (without hospice)

When death occurs at home and hospice is not involved, an authorized responder needs to pronounce death before we can bring your loved one into care. This is required by California law and is not something a funeral home or cremation provider can bypass.

  1. Call 911 first. If death was clearly natural, you can request the non-emergency response. Paramedics or law enforcement will come to pronounce death.
  2. Once they've completed their portion of the paperwork, call us at (714) 788-5572.
  3. We arrive within 2-3 hours in most parts of Anaheim, or sooner if we can.

For a full guide, see our article: What to Do When Someone Dies at Home (Without Hospice).

If the passing occurs at a residence in Anaheim (with hospice care)

When hospice is involved, the process is significantly simpler:

  1. Call your hospice agency first. Their nurse comes to the home, pronounces death, and handles the initial paperwork.
  2. Once hospice has released your loved one, call us at (714) 788-5572.
  3. We arrive to bring your loved one into our care — no 911 call needed.

If the passing is a coroner case

Some deaths — particularly sudden or unexplained ones — are reviewed by the Orange County Coroner's Office in Santa Ana. This doesn't mean anything is wrong; it's simply required in certain circumstances.

  1. Your loved one is first taken to the Orange County Coroner's Office for review.
  2. Once the coroner releases your loved one, we coordinate directly with them to pick up.
  3. We update your family throughout the process — you won't be left wondering what's happening.
