If a loved one dies unexpectedly, or if they withheld information from their families, then those surprises could turn into paperwork nightmares. Are you aware of how a funeral home can help relieve some of the burden?

If you want to know more about the paperwork of death, then listen to this episode of Forever in their Hearts, where host Erik Reynolds talks with Valerie Martell, Director of Operations for Martin Brothers Funeral Services who explains what has to happen to wrap up the estate.

Grieving someone’s death is stressful enough without trying to figure out how to close out their bank account and other affairs. This interview is a chance to learn tips to smooth the process.

When the Funeral Ends, the Paperwork Begins

The episode begins with Valerie diving right into the topic and explaining the first thing that must be done once the funeral is complete in regards to tackling the paperwork.

Next Valerie shares the next step, which is who to notify after someone dies. She not only shares who you need to contact first, but she also shares which people and organizations a funeral home can reach out to on your behalf.

If you have never closed out an estate, then it is important to know who to contact first. Waiting too long to contact certain agencies could create bigger problems on down the road.

Knowing Which Papers You Will Need to Gather

Valerie then segues into what important papers you need to gather after a loved one dies. She also answers questions such as these during the podcast:

If you are the surviving spouse, do you know what papers you need?
Do you know all the different professionals your lost loved one dealt with?
Are you aware of how a funeral home can guide you through this process?

Now ask yourself these two questions: Do I have a list of professionals I deal with in case I suddenly pass away? Could I find this information about someone else? If you answered “No” then after the podcast be sure to contact Martin Brothers to begin pre-planning your wishes.

How Long You Can Call on the Funeral Home for Help

Next the topic turns to how long after a loved one’s death you can call on the funeral home to benefit from their After Care services.

Valerie goes on to explain when After Care services begin. She gives a brief overview of some of the benefits of the services, and how long you can call on Martin Brothers after your loved one’s funeral or memorial service.

There are a lot of benefits to using a full service funeral home, like Martin Brothers. Have you given thought to how using this type of funeral chapel can help after a loved one’s death?

The episode wraps up with Valerie explaining which things are most overlooked when it comes to the paperwork of death as well as her final thoughts on the topic.
