Funeral Home

Funeral Home is a profile of the FHIR STU3 Organization resource. It is used to convey information – name and address – concerning the organization responsible for disposition of the decedent’s bodily remains. Funeral homes arrange services in accordance with the wishes of surviving friends and family, whether immediate next of kin or an executor so named in a legal will. The funeral home often takes care of the necessary paperwork, permits, and other details, such as making arrangements with the cemetery, and providing obituaries to the news media.
