What happens when a loved one dies at home?

Your first contact should be with your doctor who will attend and assess the circumstances of the death. If your family member has been ill and the doctor is satisfied with the cause of death, and is willing to sign a death certificate, you can call us to arrange to bring your loved one into our care. If the death occurs suddenly or there is not a history of illness, the police and state coroner's office will be advised and involved in the same manner as we have described above.


What happens to our loved one in these circumstances?

Your loved one will be in the care of the State Coroner located in South Melbourne while the circumstances or cause of death are ascertained. This is a necessary requirement and an important process and while it is traumatic for families at the time, it often gives relief later when the coroner advises your family on their findings. A person is required to be formally identified. Please visit our website for more information.
