When a Death Occurs
The first hours after a death can feel overwhelming. Call either of our locations and a member of our staff will guide you through what happens next.
Who to call first
If the death happens at home under hospice care, call the hospice nurse first. If it is unexpected, call 911. Once the authorities have been notified, call us in Sapulpa at 918-224-2312 or in Owasso at 918-272-6000.
Making arrangements
Between 70 and 75 decisions are made within the first 24 to 48 hours after a death. When you meet with us, it helps to bring your loved one's personal details, any pre-arrangement paperwork, cemetery information, and military discharge papers (DD214) if they served.
Death certificates
We will help you order certified copies of the death certificate. Banks, insurers and others will each ask for one, so most families need several copies.
