Grief and support

The first hours: who to call

Who takes care of this: The family, The funeral home

Draft text. The final content will be supplied or checked by labaman.com.

If your loved one dies at home, call the family doctor, who will confirm the death. In hospital, the hospital does this.

Then call your funeral home. They take care of the deceased and discuss the date of the funeral with you.

Let us know once the date is set. We will then arrange the visitors at home and the laba man.

Traditions differ from family to family, church to church and neighbourhood to neighbourhood. So we prefer to write “in many families it goes like this” rather than “this is how it should be”.
