Grief always comes unexpectedly. Therefore, each of us should know what to do if a loved one died. Where to call and run, so as not to get confused and take control of the situation. It is at this terrible and woeful moment that rash acts often occur : I called the wrong way, said the wrong thing, forgot about an important document. It is a pity that many people are not averse to profiting from someone else's grief. How to prevent this and what to do? We will understand in more detail.
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 the day a person passed away.

- 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 draw up a certificate of death of a person here.

If a person died in a hospital
Information about 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 a registry office. Then you need to prepare everything for the funeral. You can contact the ritual bureau or do everything on your own.
In case of violent death
What to do if a loved one died due to murder or suicide? As in previous cases, you need to call an ambulance and law enforcement. In order to confirm the fact of the death of the deceased, they will be sent for a medical examination. Based on the results of this examination, forensics will institute criminal proceedings.

- preservation of the body for a week (a longer stay of the deceased in the morgue is available only if there is no permission from law enforcement officers to bury);

How to prepare the body of the deceased for burial
A man has died, what to do to organize a funeral? Upon receipt of a death certificate, you must immediately contact the bureau of funeral services. However, you can put the whole process on your shoulders. In any case, it is necessary to prepare such details in advance:
- Make an order for transport to transport the body of the deceased to the place of burial or cremation.
- Buy funeral supplies.
- Order a service for the burial of the body.
- Worry about the design of the services of washing the deceased and laying him in a coffin.

- To think over especially important moments entering into a funeral scenario.
- Prepare the hall for mourning.
- Take care of a religious ritual based on the faith of the deceased.
- Make an order to organize a memorial meal.
Another important condition that relates to the personal: it is necessary to pull yourself together as much as possible and adequately lead a loved one on the last journey. Regardless of how morally difficult it is to do it.
To do it is forbidden: we follow traditions and signs
Signs for this exist to fulfill them. They were still observed by our ancestors, so we have no moral right to cancel them. It is generally accepted that with a dismissive attitude to omens, damage can be attracted.
The energy of death is quite complicated and heavy, and it will never forgive mistakes to close people of the deceased.
What can not be done when a person died? Firstly, you can’t leave the deceased alone in a room or at home. If you adhere to the point of view of the church, then the deceased needs prayer support.
There is one sign: if the deceased opens his eyes and his eyes fall on a certain person, then he will soon die. It is for this reason that it is necessary for someone to be near and in case of opening their eyes quickly close them.
A man has died, what to do immediately? It is imperative to hang with a thick cloth all the mirrors in the house, even mirror surfaces. It is necessary that the soul of the deceased does not penetrate the mirror world. You cannot open mirrors 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 back chairs or other furniture after a day. Otherwise, the deceased may return to the house as a spirit. To prevent negative fatal energy, an ax must be put in the place where the coffin was placed. You should not put photographs to the deceased, since it is believed that the people depicted on it will soon follow the deceased to another world. Representatives of black magic can also damage these photos.
Water, which was washed in the deceased, must be poured only in a deserted place. Because it can be used to conduct dark magical affairs. Items that were intended for the deceased (soap, comb, tows for tying hands and other things) must always be put in a coffin.
If there is a dead person in the house, then you can’t sweep it. And you can "sweep" only when everyone leaves the house to see off the last journey to the cemetery. It is imperative to mop the floor to expel death from home. But only after they take out the coffin on the street.
What can not be done when a person dies or has already died? Do not let cats or dogs into 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 this is unavoidable, then you need to eat noodles 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 nearby.
When gazing from the side through the window, the spirit of the deceased will begin to take revenge - he will drag him away into the world of the dead. Old people say that if you look out the window at a deceased person, then a serious illness will come. This belief is especially true for children; their energy is much weaker than that of an adult.
Another prohibition: you can not carry the coffin to a relative. Otherwise, the deceased may pick it up with him. People carrying the coffin should have their hands tied with a new white towel. It is only necessary to hammer the coffin in the cemetery, otherwise death will overtake the family of the one who hammer the coffin in the house.
What can not be done when a loved one dies? You cannot go to visit anyone after the funeral, otherwise you will involuntarily bring death into the house.
No matter how hard it is, you cannot cry a lot for the deceased. It is believed that in the next world he will choke with your tears. Leave water in the deceased's favorite places; top up it from time to time. However, you should not drink this water to your relatives.
Remember that a person is able to endure any loss. 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.
