Signing the authorization for Dodo Mortuary

An out-of-state family member can sign and fax the authorization back rather than travel to sign in person. Keep the confirmation as proof the signed authorization reached Dodo Mortuary.
Making sure your fax reaches the right file at Dodo Mortuary
Documents that arrive at Dodo Mortuary without the decedent's name are the ones that get delayed. Name the document — a cremation authorization, an insurance assignment, an obituary — at the top of the cover sheet. That labeling is what ties the document to the right family's file at Dodo Mortuary.

Faxing to Dodo Mortuary — FAQ
Include the identifiers staff use to match a file: the decedent's name and date of death. Note the document type and your relationship to the person who died on the cover sheet. A delivery confirmation then tells you the fax reached Dodo Mortuary. Clear labeling is what keeps a multi-page document together at Dodo Mortuary.
Dodo Mortuary can receive a fax at any hour, but the office works the paperwork during business hours. A funeral director is on call around the clock when a death occurs, even though the office keeps daytime hours. Flag anything urgent on the cover sheet so it is not treated as routine. Expect same-day attention for a signed authorization the office is waiting on.
HIPAA is a health-records law aimed at providers and insurers, not the paperwork a funeral home handles. Even without HIPAA, these forms carry Social Security and policy numbers you would not want exposed. Use a secure channel and verify the line first, and the documents stay protected. The absence of HIPAA is not a reason to be casual with a family's records.
The current line comes from the funeral home itself, so ask the staff for it. Ask the Dodo Mortuary staff helping your family whether the office takes fax and its number. A quick check beats faxing a claim form to a number that has moved. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered document and a lost one.
