What You Should Do if a Family Member is Dying

by PELP Staff March 23, 2020

The anxiety stemming from the impending death of a family member after a struggle with a long-term illness or as a result of an unexpected illness such as COVID-19 makes focusing on routine financial matters that much harder and challenging. It is, however, just such circumstance that should motivate action in order to streamline and simplify what is required after death. Below is a checklist to guide the organization of personal financial and related personal matters. It is also imperative for advance directives and health care proxies to be in place. The initiation of these actions requires the cooperation of the family member. Obtaining such cooperation in and of itself may be challenging and delicate in nature.

1. The patient should authorize a trusted person or persons to act in their behalf. It is critical that the patient is comfortable with their decision and does not feel manipulated or pressured into designating someone in particular. Once designated, the person(s) need to obtain the necessary documents, keys, passwords to online accounts, and other applicable information to take over the patient's financial matters. This may also require the patient to sign a power of attorney which authorizes the person(s) to act in the patient's behalf.

2. The patient's wallet, driver's license, social security card, credit and debit cards, ATM cards, home and other keys, jewelry and valuable personal property should be safeguarded in a secure location. Keys should be tagged to identify what they access.

3. The patient's mail should be routinely reviewed so bills can be timely paid and a list of assets can be created.

4. The patient's will, health care proxy, power of attorney, and direction regarding organ donation or funeral arrangements should be located. If the patient has any of these documents, ascertain where the documents are and safeguard them. If the patient does not have them, consider whether it is necessary or beneficial to have one or more of them in place. Even though direct physical access between individuals is currently limited, arrangements can be made for documents to be signed.

5. Determine whether the patient has a pension, individual retirement account, or life insurance policy and whether a beneficiary designation reflecting the patient's current wishes has been accepted by the institution for the pension, account, or policy.

6. Encourage the sharing of secrets (for example, does the patient have a child that the family did not know about).

7. Encourage the statement of facts (for example, is the patient legally divorced).

8. If you are low-income, contact the Planning and Estates Law Project - PELP - at the City Bar Justice Center for help to discuss planning options and, as necessary, the preparation of documents.

Our deepest sympathies go out to all New Yorkers who have lost friends and loved ones during this difficult time. The City has been working with funeral homes, crematories, hospitals, and nursing homes throughout the five boroughs during the coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency and are doing everything possible to ensure that those we've lost are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.

Special Precautions

COVID-19 has dramatically changed our lives. All New Yorkers deserve to celebrate, honor, and memorialize their loved ones. Even as we make arrangements for our loved ones who have passed, we must continue to practice social distancing, good hand hygiene, and infection prevention. If you are sick, you must stay home and refrain from attending the funeral service, viewing and burial. By staying home, you help slow the spread of the disease and can protect others from getting sick.

Funeral Homes

Funeral director services are seeing unprecedented requests and the City is working with them to help increase capacity and decrease delays. Families of loved ones who have passed away from COVID-19 should call the funeral home of their choice which can oversee the transfer, burial or cremation, and services.

A list of NYC funeral homes can be found on the New York State Department of Health website.

City Burial

As of April 23, 2020, there is no longer any formal timeframe for claimed decedents to be retrieved from City morgues. The City is providing families with sufficient, longer timing needed to make funeral or cremation arrangements during these unprecedented circumstances. In cases where the City cannot locate a decedent's next of kin, after an exhaustive search, the City will inter remains at Hart's Island. Remains and burial sites are recorded and catalogued in OCME's tracking system.

In the event that a family desires a City-provided burial, OCME, as the City mortuary, will facilitate the process, which includes caring for all remains in their custody with dignity and respect. OCME will also coordinate this process for victims whose remains are unidentified and/or unclaimed.

As the City aims to accommodate the many New Yorkers who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the City will continue to work with families to address their needs during this difficult time.

For more information, visit NYC.gov/ocme.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my loved one passes away at home?

Call 911. Paramedics, the NYPD, and/or the Medical Examiner's Office will respond. In some cases, the Medical Examiner's Office will authorize direct transfer of the deceased to a funeral home.

What should I do if my loved one passes away in a hospital or nursing home?

Hospitals and nursing homes are responsible for notifying family and coordinating transfer of the deceased to funeral homes. With unusually high numbers of deceased, NYC is providing temporary solutions to support hospitals as they properly care for and transfer the deceased.

In the event that a family cannot make arrangements directly with a funeral home, hospitals and nursing homes can transfer the deceased to the City's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME), which will work with families to ensure their loved one is properly buried.

Are funeral services allowed?

Yes. However, guests must continue to practice physical distancing precautions, including remaining at least 6 feet apart from others. This means you should not hug, kiss, hold hands, or otherwise touch others in attendance.

Funerals should be limited to immediate family and as few people as possible. Many funeral homes have created attendance limits based on these requirements so please check in advance.

Many funeral homes are offering live-streaming, video conferencing, and other remote options for people who cannot attend in person.

Where can I find a list of funeral homes in New York City?

A list of NYC funeral homes can be found on the New York State Department of Health website.

Can I touch our deceased loved one at the funeral (e.g., kiss, hold hands, hug, etc.)?

There is still a lot to learn about COVID-19 and how it spreads. As such, you should not touch the body of someone who was confirmed to have COVID-19 or who may have had COVID-19 (they had cold or flu symptoms but never tested for COVID-19). Kissing, washing, and shrouding should be avoided before, during, and after the body has been prepared.

Can I still perform religious or other customs, rituals, and traditions?

Funeral directors and/or religious leaders can provide recommendations on how to safely honor a loved one.

If washing or dressing the body are important religious or cultural practices, you should work with your community, cultural and religious leaders, and funeral home staff to reduce any potential risk of infection. This includes wearing protective equipment, such as gloves.

I can't afford burial expenses, what should I do?

Low-income City residents may be eligible to receive financial assistance to meet funeral expenses for a deceased low-income New York City resident family member. During the COVID-19 emergency, up to $1,700 may be available where the total burial expenses are not more than $3,400.

You can download burial claim instructions and an application from HRA.

For help by phone, call 311. Assistance provided in multiple languages.

Do I need a death certificate to hold a funeral?

Yes. You can request a NYC death certificate online or by mailing a copy of the certificate application. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person ordering of NYC death certificates is suspended until further notice.

Do I need to sign documents or forms authorizing funeral services in-person?

The requirement for original signed documents and forms authorizing or accepting funeral services has been suspended due to COVID-19. Instead, you can submit an e-signature by email or other means.

Are funeral homes taking additional precautions to keep us safe?

As directed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), funeral homes are following routine prevention and control precautions, including requiring that staff wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow disinfection protocols.

In accordance with social distancing measures, funeral homes are only holding one funeral at a time.

Is a COVID-19 decedent dangerous to funeral home employees, embalmers or autopsy technicians?

Funeral homes are directed by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to follow routine prevention and control precautions, including requiring that staff wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow disinfection protocols.

There are currently no restrictions against or guidelines for embalming, cremating, or burying someone who died as a result of COVID-19. However, to comply with social distancing restrictions, only one funeral can be held at a time.

Where can I find out more information about burials for veterans?

For more information on burials for veterans, visit va.gov/burials-memorials.

What does the City do to respect religious guidelines around burial, such as cremation or burial within a short time frame?

OCME has a long history of working closely with faith communities and leaders to accommodate religious needs relating to the release of decedents from OCME custody. OCME will continue to work funeral homes and families to expedite release of cases with such needs.

Can community members claim the remains of a decedent if they have no next of kin in the United States?

Yes. This is already happening in some faith communities.

Can funeral directors repatriate the remains of foreign nationals?

Funeral directors have received guidance from their associations and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) regarding transporting remains of a COVID-positive individual to their home countries. Each country has their own requirements surrounding COVID-positive remains and requests for specific paperwork and funeral directors should contact the specific consulates for further guidance.

VA MISSION Act

Starting June 7, 2019, VA can no longer furnish care to eligible Veterans under the Veterans Choice Program (VCP). As a result, VCP eligibility criteria will no longer be used to determine eligibility for care beyond that date. To prepare for the end of VCP, VA has already begun transitioning its authorizations for care away from VCP in advance to make sure Veterans do not experience a lapse in care after June 6, 2019. Certain Veterans that were eligible under VCP based on distance may still be eligible to receive community care after June 6, 2019, under the "grandfather" eligibility criterion established under the MISSION Act. Veterans who were eligible for community care under VCP should speak to their VA care team or a VA staff member at their local VA medical facility about their eligibility for community care after June 6, 2019. Veterans can call the VA Adverse Credit Helpline at 877-881-7618 for help resolving adverse credit reporting and debt collection issues as a result of using community care.

Safe Horizon client advocates are now available by chat to offer information, advocacy and support to people who have been impacted by violence, crime, and abuse.

You can chat with an advocate during our business hours by clicking the chat button at the bottom right of this page.

The chat button will only be visible during SafeChat hours of operation: currently Mon. - Fri. 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. If you are visiting this page outside of SafeChat hours of operation, the chat button will not be visible. Our Hotline is still available 24/7 and our Helpline is available 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Visit our Hotlines page for more information.

SafeChat is a one-on-one chat session with a Safe Horizon client advocate trained in supporting those who have experienced violence, crime, and abuse in New York City. Advocates can talk to you about your situation, ask questions and help you explore your options. Advocates can also provide information and referrals, as well as help connect you to other Safe Horizon programs.

Safe Horizon is currently piloting SafeChat Mon. - Fri. 9 a.m. - 6 p.m., except for holidays.

We hope to be expanding our hours of operation soon. SafeChat is currently only available in English. For help in another language, please call our hotlines.

If you need to speak to an advocate outside of SafeChat hours, please call our 24/7 Hotline at 1-800-621-HOPE (4673). If this is an emergency, please call 911.

Once you are ready to chat with an advocate, click on the chat button at the bottom right during SafeChat's hours of operation. This will enlarge the chat window. Clicking on "Chat Now" will take you to a pre-chat survey. All questions in the survey are optional. These questions are so we know how to refer to you during the chat as well as a safe number or email to contact you in case you are disconnected from the advocate during your chat.

Once you have submitted the pre-chat survey, you will either be connected directly to an advocate if one is available, or you will be placed in a virtual waiting room. The waiting room provides information regarding what number you are in the queue as well as an estimated wait time. It is important you stay on this page while you are in the queue to avoid losing your place in line. Some phones may have settings that cause the phone to time out if it is inactive for a certain amount of time. This may cause you to lose your place in the queue.

Geriatric Mental Health Initiative

DFTA's Geriatric Mental Health Initiative places mental health clinicians in senior centers, where they lead educational games and have open conversations with older adults about anxiety and depression. Clinicians also screen participants for depression, provide on-site counseling, and give referrals.

You don't have to be a member of a senior center to see a mental health professional, but you do have to be 60 or older.

Find a Geriatric Mental Health Initiative site or call Aging Connect at 212-244-6469 for more information.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused New Yorkers stress, burnout and anxiety. As you continue to protect your health and community, it is also important to protect your mental health and to be mindful of your alcohol and substance use.

During this ongoing period of uncertainty, we all can feel overwhelmed sometimes. There are tools and support available to help you cope.

Daily Coping Tips

Know how stress, trauma and grief can affect how you feel:

Physical: Fatigue, headaches, rapid heartbeat and worsening of preexisting medical conditions

Emotional: Feelings of sadness, despair, anxiety, anger and irritability

Mental: Confusion, forgetfulness and difficulty concentrating or making decisions

Behavioral: Not acting like yourself, restlessness, argumentative and changes in eating, sleeping and substance use

Focus on the parts of life within your control. Keep to your routines, wear a mask and practice physical distancing.

Stay connected with supportive people and communities around you.

Remind yourself of your strengths and how you have managed other challenging situations.

Download emotional support apps that can provide tools and information to help you cope.

To speak with a trained professional who can provide support and referrals for care, contact NYC Well.

Stress, Anxiety, Grief and Trauma

The below resources can help you ease the effects of stress and trauma.

Alcohol and Substance Use

Stressful events can affect the way people use substances.

People may be using alcohol and other substances to cope with trauma, grief, loss in income or boredom resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. There may also be a greater risk of overdose among people who use drugs, especially those who use heroin or other opioids.

Our resources below include strategies to help you be mindful of your use and avoid negative health effects, including overdose, during the pandemic.

Suicide Prevention

Physical distancing may be harder for people who struggle with thoughts of suicide.

If you know someone who might be thinking about suicide, ask and listen. Do not be afraid to talk about suicide directly. If you or someone you know are thinking about suicide, reach out for support.

If you or someone you know is at immediate risk of hurting themselves or in immediate danger, call 911.

Health Care and Essential Workers

Health care workers and essential workers face unique stressors and challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to common concerns about family, finances and social isolation, these workplace stressors can feel overwhelming and make it difficult to cope.

Children and Adolescents

Children of all ages are facing disruptions to their routines, major life events and loss, such as the deaths of loved ones.

As a parent, caregiver, educator or other trusted adult, you can teach and support young people to use positive coping skills during this challenging time.

COVID-19 significantly impacted the food system in New York City. To help connect community members in need with food resources during the pandemic, the Hunter College NYC Food Policy Center created Coronavirus NYC Neighborhood Food Resource Guides for each NYC neighborhood. The neighborhoods are divided by the 59 NYC Department of City Planning's Community District Profiles. The neighborhood lines and zip codes used for these reports are based on the districts used in the 2018 Community Health Profiles, which contain over fifty measures and statistics of neighborhood health.

Each resource guide includes information related to food access within the community, such as the location and hours of food pantries, meals for students and seniors during this time, delivery services for people with disabilities, and resources for immigrants. The Center partnered with local organizations like Share Meals, Hunger Free America, BetaNYC and Plentiful to create the most current and accurate data for these resource guides, which are continually updated. To further ensure the guides contain the most up-to-date information, the Center trained more than 100 volunteers to update the guides and make calls to neighborhood organizations and resources as well as supermarkets, bodegas and other food retail outlets.
THE RESOURCE GUIDES ARE MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH A COMMUNITY-WIDE EFFORT. IF YOU KNOW OF ANY CHANGES OR UPDATES TO THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION, PLEASE EMAIL info@nycfoodpolicy.org RIGHT AWAY. THANK YOU!
