Funeral Arrangements

Who Will Go With You?
Family members, friends or close neighbors are welcome to join for funeral arrangements. It is not a requirement to bring someone with you. Don’t hesitate to ask someone to join you. Chances are they will be honored at your request.

Who Will Make The Decisions?
It is important to know who is legally responsible for making the final decisions for a loved one. If the deceased has not expressed their wishes through a written document such as a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, or a Last Will and Testament, where the deceased has designated an agent to fulfill their wishes; then the chain of command is commonly as follows:
     -    Legal Spouse/Partner
     -    Surviving Adult Child/Children
     -    Surviving Parent
     -    Surviving Adult Sibling
     -    Ex-Spouse

     -    Parent of Minor Child

The person designated as the responsible party, whoever he or she may be, needs to be present to make decisions, and sign documents. If you have questions about the accepted kinship-related order of precedence, or are unclear as to who is the responsible person in funeral or cremation planning give us a call at: (716) 824-6435.

Have You Gathered the Necessary Documents?The first step in caring for your loved one involves completing and filing the Death Certificate and Burial or Cremation permit.

These documents need to be completed as accurately as possible and if you are not prepared with the necessary information, then most of your initial meeting will be spent retrieving this information. To assist us in preparing all the necessary documents, it is helpful to bring the following items with you:
     -    Deceased's Birth Certificate
     -    Deceased's Marriage Certificate
     -    Deceased's Military Discharge papers
     -    Deceased's Funeral or Cremation pre-arrangement documents (if available)
     -    Deceased Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care
     -    Last Will and Testament and any Codicils
     -    Revocable Living Trust
