Faxing to Restland Funeral Home — FAQ
These documents are handled under general privacy practice rather than HIPAA, since a funeral home sits outside it. Even without HIPAA, these forms carry Social Security and policy numbers you would not want exposed. 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.
Get it from Restland Funeral Home directly rather than an old online listing, since office numbers change. Ask the Restland Funeral Home staff helping your family whether the office takes fax and its number. 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.
Increasingly, parts of the process at Restland Funeral Home move online. The specific form's instructions usually say whether fax, a secure form, or mail is expected. 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.
Signed authorizations, insurance assignments, and VA or Social Security benefit forms are the typical faxes. Pre-need contract requests and estate documents also come in by fax. Send each as one complete, legible fax so nothing is missing when staff review it. Each document has its own destination, so confirm where it should go.
