Faxing to Hart's Mortuary — FAQ

Faxes reach Hart's Mortuary whenever you send, but a form is reviewed when the office is open. Staff are reachable at all hours for an urgent need, while paperwork is worked on the office schedule. A document sent overnight is picked up when the office next opens. Expect same-day attention for a signed authorization the office is waiting on.

HIPAA typically does not apply here — a funeral home is not the kind of covered entity HIPAA regulates. The documents deserve care regardless, since they hold identifying and financial details. The practical rule is simple — send them securely and to a number you have confirmed. The absence of HIPAA is not a reason to be casual with a family's records.

The reliable number is whichever line Hart's Mortuary is actually monitoring right now. Use Hart's Mortuary's website or a recent service folder, then confirm the fax is still monitored. Keep the working number with the family's papers for the days ahead. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered document and a lost one.

Fax still works for many documents at Hart's Mortuary, but not for every step. Where a document is sensitive, a secure online form is sometimes the office's preferred route. When fax is the right channel, a secure online fax gets it there without a machine. Guessing the channel is a common reason a document has to be resent.

Send the authorization to the mortuary handling the arrangements at Hart's Mortuary. Confirm the mortuary's current fax before you send, since the form is time-sensitive. Sign, date, and add a phone number so the office can reach you. Send the whole document as one job so nothing arrives split. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
