What to do when a death occurs

1. Contact the appropriate professional.

   If the death is unexpected or has not been pronounced, call emergency services or the attending medical professional. When hospice is involved, follow the hospice team’s instructions.

2. Call our funeral home.

   Reach Jackson & Highley at (870) 572-2111. We will discuss your circumstances and explain how we can help with the next steps.

3. Gather what you have, at your pace.

   A full legal name, date of birth, family contact information, a photograph and any written wishes can help begin the arrangements. We will explain which additional documents are needed.

4. Plan a personal conversation.

   We can help your family consider service preferences, traditions, burial or cremation options, and costs.
