At home — expected (hospice or illness)
You're in the at-home, expected scenario.
If hospice was involved, a hospice nurse will pronounce death. You have a little more time than the hospital scenario, but body removal is still same-day.
You have more time than you think. Hospice will handle the immediate steps. We'll handle what comes next.
Step 1 of 3
Call hospice (if they aren't already on their way).
The hospice nurse will pronounce death officially and handle the immediate paperwork. You don't need to call 911 in this scenario.
