- SGShari GilletteNov 5, 20255.0I would like to THANK HEMET VALLEY MORTUARY for helping us in the most difficult time of our lives. From when they picked our precious Mother up at her house. They were very professional, comforting and respectful. Then when my sister, brother and I met with Stephanie, she was extremely informative, caring and walked us thru every step. She absolutely went above and beyond with making calls to the Riverside National Cemetery to get questions answered, followed up with steps and reminders to staying for us to pick up our Mom when we got stuck in traffic!!! She literally called to remind me when we hadn’t shown up!! THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!! Will definitely refer anyone we know that is need of your services!!!

Frequently Asked Questions About Hemet Valley Mortuary
What do I do when a death occurs?
The funeral home will help coordinate arrangements with the cemetery.
Bring the following information to complete the State vital statistic requirements:
✓ Birthplace
✓ Father's Name
✓ Mother's Name
✓ Social Security Number
✓ Veteran's Discharge or Claim Number
✓ Education

Contact your clergy. Decide on time and place of funeral or memorial service. This can be done at the funeral home.
The funeral home will assist you in determining the number of copies of the death certificates you will be needing and can order them for you.
Make a list of immediate family, close friends and employer or business colleagues. Notify each by phone.
Decide on appropriate memorial to which gifts may be made (church, hospice, library, charity or school).
Gather obituary information you want to include such as age, place of birth, cause of death, occupation, college degrees, memberships held, military service , outstanding work, list of survivors in immediate family. Include time and place of services. The funeral home will normally write article and submit to newspapers (newspaper will accept picture and they will be returned intact).
Arrange for members of family or close friends to take turns answering door or phone, keeping careful record of calls. If Social Security checks are automatic deposit, notify the bank of the death.
When I call, will someone come right away?
If you request immediate assistance, yes. If the family wishes to spend a short time with the deceased to say good-bye, that’s perfectly acceptable. Your funeral director will come when your time is right.
Should I choose Burial or Cremation?
Burial in a casket is the most common method of disposing of remains in the United States, although entombment also occurs. Cremation is increasingly selected because it can be less expensive and allows for the memorial service to be held at a more convenient time in the future when relatives and friends can come together.
A funeral service followed by cremation need not be any different from a funeral service followed by a burial. Usually, cremated remains are placed in urn before being committed to a final resting place. The urn may be buried, placed in an indoor or outdoor mausoleum or columbarium, or interred in a special urn garden that many cemeteries provide for cremated remains. The remains may also be scattered, according to state law.
What is the purpose of embalming?
Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body. Embalming makes it possible to lengthen the time between death and the final disposition, allowing family members time to arrange and participate in the type of service most comforting to them.
Does a dead body have to be embalmed, according to law?
The Federal Trade Commission says, "Except in certain special cases, embalming is not required by law. Embalming may be necessary, however, if you select certain funeral arrangements, such as a funeral with viewing. If you do not want embalming, you usually have the right to choose an arrangement that does not require you to pay for it, such as direct cremation or immediate burial."
What steps should I take when a death occurs?
You should provide the funeral home with vital information such as birthplace, parents' names, Social Security number, and military details if applicable. Contact your clergy, decide on funeral or memorial service details, notify family and friends, and consider memorial gift options. The funeral home can assist with death certificates and obituary submissions.
Will someone come immediately if I call the mortuary?
Yes, immediate assistance is available upon request; however, if the family wishes to spend some time with the deceased before proceeding, the funeral director will come when the family is ready.
Should I choose burial or cremation?
Burial is the most common, but cremation is a popular alternative as it can be less expensive and allows the memorial service to be scheduled later when relatives can attend. Cremated remains can be placed in an urn and interred or scattered according to legal guidelines.
What is the purpose of embalming?
Embalming sanitizes and preserves the body, allowing more time between death and final disposition so families can arrange and participate in comforting services.
Is embalming legally required?
Embaling is generally not required by law except in special cases. It may be necessary for certain services like viewings. If you prefer no embalming, you can opt for arrangements like direct cremation or immediate burial, which do not require this service.
