The Funeral Director can then take the deceased into their care. If your loved one has passed away at a hospital or nursing home then usually a Death certificate would have been organised.
In most cases, the next of kin is responsible for arranging the funeral of the deceased, for example: spouse, child, parent, legal partner or sibling or an assigned administrator.
