| Most have a twenty-four hour phone service so you can ring them as soon as you need to. That said, it is usually wiser to wait till the morning and arrange for an undertaker to come to the house as soon as possible. If the body of the deceased is in the mortuary of the local hospital, the undertaker may offer, on that first call, to pick it up immediately and take it to his own mortuary. Be careful. If you allow that, you are in effect committing yourself to that firm. It will be difficult (but by no means impossible) to change undertakers once the body is in Firm X’s keeping. If you are not sure you want to use Firm X, tell them on the phone that you would prefer for him to take possession of the body after you have had a preliminary meeting. | Most have a twenty-four hour phone service so you can ring them as soon as you need to.
