Faxing to Van Orsdel Funeral & Cremation Services — FAQ

Faxes reach Van Orsdel Funeral & Cremation Services whenever you send, but a form is reviewed when the office is open. A funeral director is on call around the clock when a death occurs, even though the office keeps daytime hours. Send a signed authorization well ahead so it is reviewed before the arrangements proceed. Plan routine documents for a weekday when the office is fully staffed.

HIPAA typically does not apply here — a funeral home is not the kind of covered entity HIPAA regulates. Even without HIPAA, these forms carry Social Security and policy numbers you would not want exposed. Treat them as sensitive: use a private, encrypted fax and keep the confirmation. The takeaway is that these documents deserve care whether or not a specific law names them.

The reliable number is whichever line Van Orsdel Funeral & Cremation Services is actually monitoring right now. Ask the Van Orsdel Funeral & Cremation Services staff helping your family whether the office takes fax and its number. That one verification keeps a death certificate out of the wrong hands. The office that receives the fax is the authority on its own number.

Fax still works for many documents at Van Orsdel Funeral & Cremation Services, but not for every step. Some offices accept a signed authorization by fax but ask that other forms come through a secure link. Check the office's instructions first; if fax is accepted, this page shows how to send it cleanly. A two-minute check saves a misrouted or rejected document.

Because a cremation cannot begin without it, Van Orsdel Funeral & Cremation Services needs the signed authorization before it proceeds. Verify Van Orsdel Funeral & Cremation Services' office fax first, then send the authorization promptly. Sign and date the form and include a number where staff can reach you. Confirm the current fax with Van Orsdel Funeral & Cremation Services before you send, and check the office still accepts it. Doing it that way avoids the most common cause of a delay.
