Faxing to Hollywood Forever — FAQ

Some paperwork at Hollywood Forever still goes by fax; other steps are now electronic. Many states now register the death certificate through an electronic death registration system rather than fax. Match the document to the channel Hollywood Forever actually wants, and it lands right the first time. Confirming the channel first is the honest shortcut with Hollywood Forever.

A cremation or burial authorization, a claim form, and vital-statistics details are the documents most often sent. Insurance assignments let the policy pay the funeral home directly, so those forms are common. Ask Hollywood Forever which certified copies or supporting documents should go with it. Most of these are one or two pages, so they fax quickly once you have the line.

Include the identifiers staff use to match a file: the decedent's name and date of death. State which document it is and which office it is for on the cover sheet. A delivery confirmation then tells you the fax reached Hollywood Forever. Check the details once before you send so nothing has to be resent.

Hollywood Forever can receive a fax at any hour, but the office works the paperwork during business hours. Someone is available at all hours for the family, though routine documents wait for office hours. Flag anything urgent on the cover sheet so it is not treated as routine. Nothing waits long during an active arrangement, since staff are working the file.
