Death Away from Home

When funeral arrangements must unexpectedly be made away from home, Memorial Funeral Home will assist you in any way that we can.

What to Do First

Call Memorial Funeral Home at 401-846-0698 day or night. It is not usually necessary for you to contact an out-of-state funeral home. We can do this for you. We will make the necessary arrangements for your loved one to be brought the funeral home for the appropriate preparations for their return to Rhode Island. We will need some basic information from you, and we will ask you to call us upon your return to Rhode Island to set a time for an arrangement conference. If you would like to know what information is needed by the funeral home, look at our "Planning Ahead" section above. The Online Prearrangement Form can be completed and will be emailed directly to our office.
