Grief always comes unexpectedly. Therefore, each of us should know what to do if a loved one has died. Where to call and run, so as not to get confused and take control of the situation. It is at this terrible and sad moment that rash acts often happen: I called the wrong place, said the wrong thing, forgot about an important document. It is a pity that many people are not averse to cashing in on someone else's grief. How to prevent this and what to do? Let's take a closer look.
What to do when a person dies at home during the day?
You should know that the actions of relatives differ depending on what time of day the person passed away.
So what do you do when a loved one dies at home? The algorithm of actions is as follows:
- Call the local doctor by phone. If detected, it will record death andwill issue the corresponding document.
- Call the police, their employees must examine the bodies and draw up a report. After that, they will provide a referral to the morgue.
- While the police and medical staff are doing their job, be sure to cover all the mirrors in the house.
- Take care of collecting documents. We need your passport, ID card of the deceased, his medical card and insurance.
- With this list of documents, including a death certificate, you must go to the district clinic. If the deceased has been examined over the past few weeks, then you can issue a death certificate here. In the absence of this circumstance, the body will be handed over for an autopsy.
Be sure to take the phone numbers and address of the morgue from the workers of the district clinic. After that, it is necessary to order transport for the transportation of the body.

When the morning comes, you need to go to the clinic forobtaining an outpatient card and a post-mortem epicrisis. After that, it remains to pick up the corresponding document in the morgue. Be sure to have passports (your own and the deceased), an outpatient card with you.
Algorithm of actions if death occurs outside the home

After medical workers examine the body and record the death, you will be given the appropriate document. And law enforcement officials should draw up a protocol and send the body for an autopsy.
Unfortunately, you personally will have to find a vehicle to transport the deceased to the morgue. Upon completion of the forensic autopsy, you will receive a death certificate in your hands.
If the person died in the hospital
Information about the death and the whereabouts of the body will be immediately reported to relatives.
In order to obtain a death certificate of a relative, you must use the services of the registry office. Then you need to prepare everything for the funeral. You can contact the funeral home or do everything on your own.
In case of violent death
What to do if a loved one dies due to murder or suicide? As in previous cases, you need to call an ambulance and law enforcement agencies. In order to confirm the fact of death, the deceased will be sent for a medical examination. Based on the results of this examination, criminologists will initiate a criminal case.

- preservation of the body for a week (a longer stay of the deceased in the morgue is available only in the absence of permission from law enforcement officials for burial);

How to prepare the body of the deceased for burial
A person has died, what should I do to arrange a funeral? Upon receipt of a certificate ofdeath, you must immediately contact the funeral services office. However, you can put the whole process on your shoulders. In any case, it is necessary to prepare the following details in advance:
- Order transport to transport the body of the deceased to the place of burial or cremation.

Another important condition that relates to the personal: you need to pull yourself together as much as possible and adequately lead your loved one to the last journey. No matter how mentally difficult it is to do so.
It is forbidden to do: we observe traditions and signs
Signs for that and exist to fulfill them. Our ancestors observed them, so we have no moral right to cancel them. It is generally accepted that with a disdainful attitude to signs, you can attract damage.
The energy of death is quite complex and difficult, and she will never forgive the mistakes of the loved ones of the deceased.
What can not be done when a person has died? First, you can not leave the deceased alone in a room or at home. If you stick to the pointview of the church, the deceased needs prayer support.
There is one sign: if the eyes of the deceased open and the gaze falls on a certain person, then he will die soon. It is for this reason that it is necessary for someone to be nearby and, if the eyes are opened, quickly close them.
A person has died, what to do right away? It is imperative to hang all the mirrors in the house with a thick cloth, even mirror surfaces. It is necessary that the soul of the deceased does not penetrate into the mirror world. Mirrors must not be opened for 40 days. It is believed that during this time the spirit is still in its native place.
Those pieces of furniture on which the coffin was located must be turned upside down after being taken to the cemetery.
You can put chairs or other furniture back after a day. Otherwise, the deceased may return to the house in the form of a spirit. To prevent negative deadly energy, it is necessary to put an ax in the place where the coffin stood. You cannot put photographs to the deceased, since it is believed that the people depicted on it will soon follow the deceased to another world. Also, representatives of black magic can damage these photographs.
The water used to wash the deceased must be poured out only in a deserted place. Because it can be used to carry out dark magical deeds. Items thatintended for the deceased (soap, comb, harnesses for tying hands and other things) must be placed in the coffin.
If there is a dead person in the house, then you can not sweep it. And you can "sweep" only when everyone leaves the house to see off on their last journey to the cemetery. It is imperative to wash the floor in order to expel death from the house. But only after the coffin is taken outside.
What can not be done when a person dies or has already died? Cats or dogs are not allowed in the house. It is believed that they disturb the spirit of the deceased. Another bad omen: the cat jumped into the coffin.
In no case should you go to bed in the same room with the deceased. However, if it is unavoidable, then noodles should be eaten for breakfast.
You can't look out the window if a funeral is taking place near you. It is believed that when the deceased is carried in a coffin, his soul goes along.
When peering from the side through the window, the spirit of the deceased will begin to take revenge - it will drag him into the world of the dead. Old people say that if you look out the window at a dead person, then a serious illness will come. In particular, this belief applies to children, their energy is much weaker than that of an adult.
One more prohibition: you can't carry a coffin to a relative. Otherwise, the deceased can take it with him. The people carrying the coffin must have their hand tied with a new white towel. You need to nail up the coffin only in the cemetery, otherwise death will overtake the family of the one who nailed the coffin in the house.
What can not be done when a loved one dies? You can’t go to anyone’s house after the funeral, otherwise youunwittingly bring death into the house.
No matter how hard it is, you can't cry a lot for the deceased. It is believed that in the next world he will choke on your tears. Leave water in the favorite places of the deceased, top it up from time to time. However, relatives should not drink this water.
Remember that any loss a person is able to endure. No wonder they say among the people: "God does not give us those trials that we cannot endure." Pull yourself together and remember that your family needs you.
