Once a funeral home is selected, a “Notification of Expected Home Death” form can be completed. This form authorizes the funeral home to remove the body from the home without “pronouncement of death” by a healthcare professional. For more details, see the section “Pronouncement of death”. The notification form can be found at www.gov.bc.ca/expectedhomedeath. It is completed by the doctor of the person approaching end of life and sent to the funeral home before the death. | |||
