I was not directly involved in this adventure but the whole thing got me to wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how they (or their facility) handled it.
This weekend we had a resident die. It was not an unexpected death but the event occurred a bit sooner than expected. Anyways, the family was notified of the event but had no wishes to come to our facility. Unfortunately, no mortuary had been designated. The family declined to name one because they did not wish to be responsible for the bill.
In the end, after 12 hours, the family committed to cremation society which is the most frugal option available.
Anyone have anything similar occur in their career or facility?
