The process after the death of the old man in Shanghai

After the death is confirmed, a death certificate must be issued first, and the funeral home can only pick up the body with the death certificate. The electronic version of the death certificate can be copied/scanned for subsequent use in other businesses. For details on how to issue a death certificate, please refer to the following guide to funeral services in Shanghai:

I made an appointment to pick up the body from the funeral home. I take my death certificate+agent's ID card to make an appointment directly at the scene, and I also confirm and pay for other services needed after the funeral, such as car pick-up type (middle and low grade), reserved memorial hall, body makeup, site layout, coffin, cremation time, urn lettering and so on.

There are about a dozen funeral parlours in Shanghai. You can call first to find out and then decide which funeral parlour to choose. For example, when can I pick it up, whether there is a cremator in the funeral home (Longhua and Baoxing don't have cremators, so they need to be transported to Yishan funeral home cremation when they are cremated, which is equivalent to going to two places, directly choosing Yishan, a funeral home with cremators, and disposing of it together with cremation), and how to make an appointment to pick up the remains.

4. Funeral supplies such as shroud, urn, gold and silver quilt can be purchased by yourself outside, or you can choose to buy them at the funeral home;

Without a one-stop service and agent, these can be handled by themselves.

The following is the original text:

Although I did some homework to deal with the aftermath before, when my mother really arrived, it coincided with the special situation that the hospital was closed because of the epidemic. I haven't slept all day and night, and I'm still a little confused.

The day my mother died, the hospital was closed because of the epidemic. After the mortuary master took over my mother, he said kindly, "Little girl, go up and pack your things and come down quickly to see what your mother will do." Our hospital has been closed, but cars can still get in and out. We must send your mother's body to the funeral home as soon as possible. Now, no one knows how many days our hospital will be closed. You see, our place is so big that so many bodies can't fit in. Come down quickly. "

At first glance, I'm a little nervous. What if it lasts 14 days? I don't want my mother to lie here alone. When I was packing in the ward, the mortuary master called to urge me to come down quickly: "I will come down when I have packed up, and I can't get out when the hospital is closed." I am nervous again when the other party urges me. I handed the task of cleaning up to my father and immediately returned to the master's office. The mortuary master has invited the uncle who has been in mourning for a long time to come over, and the two of them began to perform the double spring. But from beginning to end, this uncle has never been introduced, nor has he introduced which institution he belongs to.

I won't describe the process in detail. In short, on the one hand, the mortuary master forced me to get rid of the body quickly on the grounds of closing the hospital. On the other hand, the uncle who handled the funeral through a train forced me to book the rental service of the funeral parlour, regardless of our simple handling needs, and casually checked more than 20,000 funeral packages.

Because I have done my homework before, I know the necessary options and approximate price of the memorial hall. But as soon as I asked a question, my uncle lied to me that the 7000+ lease for the mourning hall was compulsory by the funeral home. So I realized that my uncle was a black intermediary and prevaricated that the cost was too high. I need to discuss with my family before making a decision, and then reply to them.

After returning to the ward, my aunt told me that I could contact Baoshan funeral home directly to ask. After calling for consultation, the other party said that they needed to make an appointment at the scene with a death certificate, and then arranged to pick up the body.

Because it was more troublesome to go to the scene, I called Baoxing funeral home again. After receiving the call, the other party said that they would arrange someone to contact me, but after a long detour, a one-stop agent finally came to communicate with me. As soon as they heard that we wanted to keep it simple, they said that it was unprofitable for them to do so and asked me to go directly to the funeral home to get it.

I walked around and got the whole picture. If you don't want to handle the funeral for the deceased through one-stop service, you can do this:

1. Prepare the death certificate and the agent's ID card.

2. Take the death certificate and go directly to the funeral home to make an appointment to pick up the body. If it goes well, make an appointment in the morning and arrange to pick up the body in the afternoon.

Not every funeral home in Shanghai has a cremator. Please ask before you make an appointment to pick up the remains.

For example, Baoxing funeral home has no cremator and needs to be sent to Minhang for cremation; Yishan Crematorium in Minhang has to undertake the cremation needs of three funeral parlours in Shanghai. It may take a long time to cremate the ashes here. If it doesn't wait for the ashes, it will take five days to get the ashes from Baoxing funeral home. If you choose to go to Yishan funeral home, you can collect the ashes on the spot without any trouble.

4. The expenses of funeral parlour are open and transparent, and will not be forced to consume. It takes at least 1000 yuan to complete the business, and all expenses must be invoiced. The black intermediary I met wrote in the contract that no invoices would be issued for any fees.

The price of shroud, shoes, hats, bedding and urn sold by funeral parlour is slightly more expensive than that bought outside, but the price is not outrageous, which is allowed to be prepared by yourself. If you want to save money, you can make preparations in advance.

If you want to prepare for the funeral according to the custom, then the advantages of the regular one-stop meeting will come out, and you will tell your family what to do in every link and seven aspects.
