Faxing to Wilson-Eichelberger Mortuary — FAQ
Faxes reach Wilson-Eichelberger Mortuary whenever you send, but a form is reviewed when the office is open. Someone is available at all hours for the family, though routine documents wait for office hours. A time-sensitive authorization should go early, since a cremation or service can depend on it. Expect same-day attention for a signed authorization the office is waiting on.
HIPAA typically does not apply here — a funeral home is not the kind of covered entity HIPAA regulates. The absence of HIPAA does not make a Social Security number any less worth protecting. So send them over a secure, encrypted channel rather than a public machine, and confirm the office received them. The absence of HIPAA is not a reason to be casual with a family's records.
The reliable number is whichever line Wilson-Eichelberger Mortuary is actually monitoring right now. Check Wilson-Eichelberger Mortuary's contact page, then verify the line by phone and confirm fax is still accepted. Confirming the line first is a two-minute step that prevents a misdirected document. That confirmation is the difference between a delivered document and a lost one.
Fax still works for many documents at Wilson-Eichelberger Mortuary, but not for every step. An insurance assignment may still be faxed even when the death certificate is filed electronically. So confirm Wilson-Eichelberger Mortuary still accepts fax before you send, and use its secure form when that is what it asks for. Guessing the channel is a common reason a document has to be resent.
A signed cremation or burial authorization goes to the mortuary's front office. Verify the line first, because a cremation waits on the signed form. Include the decedent's name and your relationship on the form. Keep the transmission confirmation in case you need to show it went through. That keeps the arrangements moving without a second round trip.
