INFORMATION TO HAVE BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS In order to have as smooth a process as possible, know the following information for everyone in your family or care:

Name Social Security Number Date and Place of Birth Armed Forces Service Usual Occupation (if retired, what they did before) and in What Kind of Business Marital Status Spouse's Name (even if deceased; if wife, have maiden name) Residence Highest Level of Education Mother and Father's Names

Knowing these things before a death occurs can make the death certificate process much easier. Also, have in mind how many certified death certificates you will need to put the deceased's final affairs in order. Things like life insurance claims, title transfers and Social Security claims all require certified certificates. The state charges $15 for the first and $6 for each additional certificate. For terminally ill loved ones, you will also want to advise the care facility or Hospice that the Rundus Funeral Home will be handling the final arrangements. Just give them our telephone number, 303-460-1414. We are a 24-hour, seven days a week facility.
