| "If a loved one dies while
away from home, you may suddenly find yourself wondering "What
do I need to do?" We know that dealing with a loss is never
easy, but dealing with a loss away from your
hometown can seem especially complicated. Below is a list of the
basic information you'll need to know. If you need help, let the
staff at Renner Funeral Home assist you."
What do I do?
The staff at Renner Funeral Home is experienced in helping families
make the necessary arrangements regardless of where the death occurred.
If you find yourself…
…In Another Community
When death occurs, the family should contact our funeral home before
arranging any type of final disposition services, particularly if
you wish to transfer the deceased to the Belleville area.
…Outside the United States
If a person dies while traveling outside the United States, you
will need to notify the U.S. Embassy in the country where the death
occurred (though officials in the foreign country may notify the
embassy for you). The staff at Renner Funeral Home is well versed
in the necessary procedures and will work with the embassy to get
your loved one back to the United States.
… When Traveling
Contact Renner Funeral Home and notify us of the death so we can
help make arrangements through a local funeral home to transfer
the remains to our facility. If the coroner or medical examiner
is involved, they can also help coordinate arrangements with our
funeral home for the preparation and return of your loved one to
the Belleville area.
Documents Required
Regardless of where the death occurs, it is helpful
to have the following information ready. Officials in the locality
of the death will need some of this information for the death certificate,
and our staff will need this information in order to make the necessary
arrangements for the preparation and transit the deceased.
• Date and place of birth (city and state)
• Social security number
• Veteran status
• Educational level
• Parents' names including mother's maiden name
