When someone dies at home, the first point of call will be a doctor or if a district nurse is present they can verify that a death has taken place. Once the doctor or district nurse has verified the death, your next point of call would be to ourselves. We are available 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. We will attend the home address to look after your loved one and they will be taken to Piper Funeral Home, where they will be looked after. The funeral director will then arrange to meet you either at your own home or our funeral home and will guide you on everything you will need to do over the coming days.

If the death occurs at a care home, the nursing home staff will arrange a doctor to visit and once the doctor has visited we will attend the care home to look after your loved one.

If the death was sudden or unexpected at home, the ambulance service will contact the police to call to the address, this is standard practice in all sudden/unexpected deaths, the police will ask you if you have a funeral director you wish to use, you can ask for us and we will attend to look after your loved one and transport them to the local coroner mortuary until the coroner investigates the death. If a duty funeral director is called to look after your loved one, you will be under no obligation to use them, they will transport your loved one to the local coroner mortuary and once we have contact from the next of kin, we will take over from there.
