The process depends on where the passing takes place. Here's what to do in each situation.
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.
Costa Mesa is a quick trip from our office. For Hoag Newport Beach, expect us within 45-60 minutes during business hours. Residence pickups anywhere in Costa Mesa typically within 2 hours.
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.
For a full guide, see our article: What to Do When Someone Dies at Home (Without Hospice).
When hospice is involved, the process is significantly simpler:
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.
