Step One: Initial Contact
When a Death Occurs at Home
If a death happens at home, and the deceased is under hospice care, the hospice care nurse will contact Amata Cremation when your loved one is ready to be transferred into our care. Sometimes, the family may elect to contact us at (513) 728-3459.
When a death happens at home, but not under hospice care, whether it is accidental or unexpected, you must call 911. The emergency services representative will notify Amata Cremation.
When a Death Occurs in Supervised Care
In situations where your loved one was in supervised care, such as a nursing home or hospital at the time of death, their staff will immediately notify you. If you let the facility know you will be working with Amata Cremation, they will notify us to take your loved one into our care.
For cases where a loved one was in hospice program's care, your first call should be to them where a representative will provide you with the instructions and procedures for moving forward.
