Trusted and Respectful Funeral Directors in Melbourne

Organising a funeral is one of the more intense experiences that life can suddenly present you with. The process of grieving alone can be all consuming. On top of this are the logistics of funeral arrangements that can only add to an already overwhelmed state of mind. Even a small task like ordering some flowers can seem inconsequential when compared to the scale of just having lost a loved one. It’s important to know that you don’t have to go through the process of dealing with your grief with organising the funeral by yourself. The eastern suburbs funeral directors at White Dove Funeral Care are here to assist you with everything you need to deliver a funeral service that’s respectful, celebratory and perfectly reflects the life of the deceased.

What to do Before Organising the Particulars of the Funeral Service

The immediate minutes and hours after learning about the passing of a loved one quite likely leaves you with a thousand thoughts running through your mind, with the funeral service arrangements first and foremost at the front. However, before you start organising the service, there are important matters that need to be taken care of first, as difficult as they may seem. You need a doctor to certify first that your loved one has indeed passed away. If the death occurs in hospital or in another form of official care, the staff will take care of those matters. However, if the death occurs at home, you will need to notify the deceased’s GP. If the death was expected, whether due to old age or other natural causes, they should be able to issue certification almost immediately. A Coronial inquiry will only be needed if the cause of death is unknown or was not the result of natural causes.

Only when you have an official death certificate can funeral service arrangements be finalised. The experienced funeral directors at White Dove Funeral Care are happy to assist you in any way possible to make this difficult time as stress-free as possible.
