What You Can Fax to Powers Funeral Home

  • Obituary and death-notice text
  • Life-insurance assignment and claim forms
  • Next-of-kin and authorizing-agent forms

Make sure the office still takes fax rather than a secure upload, and hold onto the confirmation in case a service date depends on it.

Faxing to Powers Funeral Home — FAQ

You can send to Powers Funeral Home any time, though routine documents are handled during business hours. Staff are reachable at all hours for an urgent need, while paperwork is worked on the office schedule. A time-sensitive authorization should go early, since a cremation or service can depend on it. Send early in the day so an urgent form is handled before the office closes.

A funeral home like Powers Funeral Home is generally not a HIPAA-covered entity, so HIPAA usually does not govern these documents. Even without HIPAA, these forms carry Social Security and policy numbers you would not want exposed. So send them over a secure, encrypted channel rather than a public machine, and confirm the office received them. Either way, a private channel and a confirmed number are the sensible steps.

Ask Powers Funeral Home for its working office fax before you send anything sensitive. Ask the Powers Funeral Home staff helping your family whether the office takes fax and its number. Confirming the line first is a two-minute step that prevents a misdirected document. A confirmed line beats a guessed one on documents this personal.

It depends on the document and the office. The specific form's instructions usually say whether fax, a secure form, or mail is expected. So confirm Powers Funeral Home still accepts fax before you send, and use its secure form when that is what it asks for. The channel that works is whichever one the office actually asks for.

Often the staff at Powers Funeral Home will accept the paperwork in person. Ask Powers Funeral Home whether it prefers fax, email, or in-person delivery. Put the decedent's name on each page either way. Put the decedent's name on every page so it is matched cleanly. It is a small step that spares the family a follow-up call.
