Flowchart – Procedure When A Member Dies

This is one of a pair of flowcharts we have created to help guide you through difficult situations involving a member.

This one provides a summary of procedures to be completed when a member dies. There is a companion flowchart that reviews what tasks should be completed when a member is placed in care.

The flowchart begins with learning of the situation and helps narrow down recommended actions depending on the particular circumstances: did the member die at home? Are there other residents in the home? Pets? And does the co-op have an emergency contact?
The chart also offers references to relevant sections of the Model Rules.
