Faxing to Sparkman/Hillcrest Funeral Home — FAQ

The usual documents are a disposition authorization, life-insurance claim forms, and details for the death certificate. An out-of-town relative often faxes a signed authorization so the arrangements can move forward. Whatever the document, put the decedent's name and date of death on every page. Each document has its own destination, so confirm where it should go.

At minimum, the decedent's full name and date of death belong on each page. Add a cover sheet with your name, your relationship to the decedent, and a callback number. That labeling is what lets Sparkman/Hillcrest Funeral Home reconnect the pages if they separate. Clear labeling is what keeps a multi-page document together at Sparkman/Hillcrest Funeral Home.

You can send to Sparkman/Hillcrest Funeral Home any time, though routine documents are handled during business hours. The funeral home answers at any hour for a death, but faxed forms are processed during the day. Send a signed authorization well ahead so it is reviewed before the arrangements proceed. Expect same-day attention for a signed authorization the office is waiting on.

A funeral home like Sparkman/Hillcrest Funeral Home is generally not a HIPAA-covered entity, so HIPAA usually does not govern these documents. The documents deserve care regardless, since they hold identifying and financial details. Treat them as sensitive: use a private, encrypted fax and keep the confirmation. The absence of HIPAA is not a reason to be casual with a family's records.

Interment authorizations and deeds may go to Sparkman/Hillcrest Funeral Home's cemetery office, not the funeral director. Verify the right office's fax so the document is not misrouted. Include the decedent's name and, for a grave, the plot or deed details. Ask the office first, since some steps now go through a secure form. That keeps the arrangements moving without a second round trip.
