When most people think of a funeral director, they think of a compassionate professional who can assist with the funeral and burial services when a loved one passes. According to Porto Funeral Homes in New Haven County, many don’t realize that these trusted experts are also trained administrators. As such, a funeral director can be your go-to resource for completing documentation properly.

Whether you have some paperwork already in order or you are starting from scratch, Porto Funeral Homes is committed to helping you and your family every step of the way. Here are just a few benefits of letting a licensed funeral home handle the funeral documents:

• Reduce Stress: If you are creating a will as part of pre-arrangements for funerals, a funeral home can ensure that important aspects of the burial or cremation are already decided and paid for. Having these arrangements taken care of ahead of time can help a family focus on the important things instead of feeling overwhelmed in the event of a death. If these arrangements are not made ahead of time, a funeral home can still help reduce paperwork processing in your family’s time of need.
• Contact The Necessary People: Death certificates are necessary for many processes that follow the loss of a loved one—including insurance payments. When working with a funeral home, a director should know who to contact for death certificates and do so in a reliable, fast manner.
• Organization of Benefits: If your loved one served in the military, there are many benefits he or she could be entitled to as a veteran. A funeral director will not only help you process these documents, but will reveal your options for burial or cremation services. Professionals can also help Medicaid members understand and acquire their title 19 benefits.
