My loved one passed away and was taken to the Medical Examiner’s facility. What do I do now?

Choose a mortuary and let them know that your loved one is at our facility. The mortuary will contact our office, and arrangements will be made to transfer your loved one’s care to them after our examination is complete. They will make you aware of the timeframe, as arrangements for each case are unique.
