Who To Notify Checklist
TIPS: We suggest you start a folder or book to keep a checklist and copies of notifications of a death.
If you are pre-planning this list to assist your family, we suggest you complete the list below - also downloadable as a PDF by clicking this document PLUS the YOUR FUNERAL WISHES document.
Some notifications should happen quickly; some can wait until after the funeral and you have a registered copy of the Death Certificate from your state government Births, Deaths and Marriages office.
