The First Hour: What No One Tells You When Someone Dies

When someone dies - suddenly, violently, or without warning - families are expected to make decisions they have never made before, sign documents they don't understand, and navigate systems that were never explained to them.The First Hour is the guide no one handed us.Written by a father who followed his son's phone to a parking lot and found police tape, this book fills the gap that no hospital, police department, or funeral home has ever filled: what to do in the critical first hours after a death - and what never to do.Inside you will find: what to do and what to protect in the first hour, your rights with law enforcement, hospitals, and funeral homes, how to protect the estate, the digital life, and the evidence, tear-out checklists for every type of death - homicide, suicide, accidental, natural, and more, and a roadmap from Day 1 through Day 91 and beyond.This book is for the next parent who follows their child's phone to a parking lot. For the family who gets a knock on the door in the middle of the night. For anyone who finds themselves in the worst hour of their life with no one to tell them what to do next.Practical. Immediate. Essential.
