Faxing to Lensing Funeral & Cremation Service — FAQ

Families commonly fax Lensing Funeral & Cremation Service a signed cremation or burial authorization, an insurance assignment, or benefit paperwork. The obituary text and a photo are frequently sent so the funeral home can place the notice. Ask Lensing Funeral & Cremation Service which certified copies or supporting documents should go with it. When in doubt, ask Lensing Funeral & Cremation Service what it needs before you send anything.

Label each page with the decedent's full name and, when known, the date of death. Note the document type and your relationship to the person who died on the cover sheet. With the name, date, and destination clear, nothing gets misdirected. The identifiers matter as much as the document itself.

The line accepts faxes around the clock; when staff process them depends on the office schedule. A funeral director is on call around the clock when a death occurs, even though the office keeps daytime hours. Routine paperwork follows the normal queue rather than jumping ahead. Send early in the day so an urgent form is handled before the office closes.

A decedent's records and funeral paperwork generally fall outside HIPAA's reach. Even without HIPAA, these forms carry Social Security and policy numbers you would not want exposed. Handle them carefully, send over an encrypted connection, and confirm the destination. Either way, a private channel and a confirmed number are the sensible steps.

A cremation authorization is the gating document at a funeral home and crematory like Lensing Funeral & Cremation Service. Ask Lensing Funeral & Cremation Service for the working line, since the form should not sit unread. Send it as one clear fax so nothing is missing when staff review it. Keep the transmission confirmation in case you need to show it went through. That keeps the arrangements moving without a second round trip.
