Faxing to Heartfield Funeral Home — FAQ
Incoming faxes to Heartfield Funeral Home are not turned away by the hour, but processing is not immediate. Someone is available at all hours for the family, though routine documents wait for office hours. Routine paperwork follows the normal queue rather than jumping ahead. Nothing waits long during an active arrangement, since staff are working the file.
HIPAA is a health-records law aimed at providers and insurers, not the paperwork a funeral home handles. The absence of HIPAA does not make a Social Security number any less worth protecting. Handle them carefully, send over an encrypted connection, and confirm the destination. Protecting the details is what matters, more than which statute happens to apply.
