whose job is it to take care of the burial preparation? is it the social worker's job?
Dear xander,
The social worker or chaplain can assist with funeral planning. They will be as active as you need them to be. The funeral home will more than likely handle the preparation, but the hospice social worker, chaplain and the bereavement counselor are always there to help in any way they can.
