In Event Of A Death

First Step: Initial Contact

  • If death was sudden or unexpected call 911.
  • If death was in hospital, care facility, hospice or planned home death, call Drake’s at (250) 377-8225– 24/7.

 Second Step: Completing Funeral and/or Cremation Arrangements

  • When you’re ready (i.e. had a night’s sleep if you needed it) phone Drake’s (250-377-8225). We’ll come to you, or you can come to our place.
  • For the arrangement, we will ask you for information and items such as:
    • Care Card Number
    • Birth Certificate, if available
    • Social Insurance Number
    • Parent’s names, including mother’s maiden name, and their birth places
    • Occupation information (pre-retirement)
    • A recent photograph
    • Clothing for the deceased person, if desired.
  • We’ll present options and follow your instructions.
  • We’ll produce the Death Certificate, and assist with obituaries, CPP Death Benefits and other matters at no charge.

Third Step: After the Cremation/Burial and any Service Held

  • There is no need to rush…take a few days off if you need them.
  • Start reading through the estate support tools we’ve provided at no charge.
  • Start contacting the various places.
  • Call us if you need some help (no charge, no time limit!)
