For natural deaths that occured at home, you need to call a doctor right away who’s available for a house call. If the doctor can certify the death, then he will issue a Certificate of Cause of Death (CCOD) right away.   However, if there’s no doctor who can make a house call, get in touch with the police immediately. The police are the one who will transport the body to the mortuary to confirm the cause of death.   The documents you need to bring to the morgue are medical documents, medications taken by the deceased, and identifications of the deceased and yourself.
