What to Do in the Event of a Death?
If a person passes away in a hospital or nursing home, the initial steps will be arranged by the staff there. However, if a person dies at home, you must first call a doctor. Please contact the family doctor; if they are unavailable, call the on-call medical service. In Germany, this service can be reached by dialing 116 117.
First Steps
Following the examination, the doctor will issue the death certificate and leave it with the deceased. You can then inform the funeral home you trust.
We take care of everything
