If you have questions about what to do when a loved one passes – Tippecanoe Funeral Chapel

If you have questions about what to do when a loved one passes, we are here to help

You might be sitting with your loved one at a Lafayette or West Lafayette area hospital or hospice, facing one of life’s most difficult moments. While you focus on being present, let us help you understand what comes next.

We Know This is Overwhelming

Right now, you’re trying to balance being present for your loved one while also thinking about arrangements you’ve never had to make before. You might have questions you don’t even know how to ask.

That’s exactly why we created our Next Steps Care service. This free service connects you with a senior member of our Care Team who can meet you wherever you are—literally and emotionally.

We’ll meet you where you’re most comfortable:

  • In person—we’ll come to you
  • A quiet phone conversation when you have a few minutes
  • A video call from wherever you are

Our Care Team member will answer your questions, explain the process step-by-step, and help you understand your options—all without any pressure or obligation.

“We understand you need to be present for your loved one right now. Our conversation can happen on your timeline, when you’re ready, and for as long as you need.”

What Families Tell Us They Need Most

Every family’s situation is unique, but here are some of the most common concerns we help address:

“What happens next? What do we need to do first?”

“How much time do we have to make decisions?”

“What are our options, and what do they cost?”

“How do we honor what our loved one would have wanted?”

“What paperwork needs to be handled, and when?”

“How do we tell the rest of the family? How do we plan a service?”

Whatever questions you have—or don’t know you have yet—we’re here to help guide you through this with compassion and clarity.
