Immediate Need

If a Death Has Just Occurred

First, let us express our deepest sympathy for your loss and know that we are here to help guide you and your family through this difficult time.

If you want to talk to someone right now, please call us at
810-686-2210 day or night. We will answer any questions and talk you through the next steps which will likely include making arrangements to bring your friend or family member into our care and set a time for you and your family to come to the funeral home to begin the funeral arrangements.


At the time a death takes place, the first decision you will make is who to call.

  • If the death was unexpected and occurred at home you will need to call the police. After they respond, and if the Medical Examiner determines that no further investigation is needed, the responding officer will often call the funeral home of your choice on your behalf or encourage a family member to make the call. Our number is 810-686-2210.
  • If your loved one dies at home and is registered with at-home hospice care, you do not need to call the police. In that situation you would call the hospice provider, then the funeral home.
  • If your loved one is at a care facility or hospital at the time of their passing, either a family member or one of the care facility staff will contact the funeral home.

We answer our phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can call on us any time.
