Schertz Funeral Home Fax Number — VA and Social Security Benefit Paperwork

Some paperwork at Schertz Funeral Home still goes by fax; other steps are now electronic. An insurance assignment may still be faxed even when the death certificate is filed electronically. Check the office's instructions first; if fax is accepted, this page shows how to send it cleanly. Either way, do not assume — the office's own instructions are the authority.

A cremation or burial authorization, a claim form, and vital-statistics details are the documents most often sent. For a veteran, the family may fax discharge papers for the VA burial-benefit claim. Confirm first whether Schertz Funeral Home wants it by fax or through a secure form. The office can tell you which documents it still needs by fax versus another way.

Include the identifiers staff use to match a file: the decedent's name and date of death. Direct the cover sheet to the funeral home's office and include a number staff can call. That labeling is what lets Schertz Funeral Home reconnect the pages if they separate. Complete, legible details are what move the request fastest at a hard time.

Schertz Funeral Home can receive a fax at any hour, but the office works the paperwork during business hours. The office is staffed during the day, with staff on call for a death at other times. Send a signed authorization well ahead so it is reviewed before the arrangements proceed. A brief follow-up call confirms a time-sensitive fax to Schertz Funeral Home was seen.
