MANSFIELD, Ohio – The first thing to do in the event of a loved one’s death is to call his or her life insurance representative and ask for help filing the death claim. The representative can help you complete the necessary forms.
If you don’t know the representative’s name, contact the life insurance organization by email, phone or in writing to find out how to file the death claim.
Second, you’ll need certified copies of the death certificate from the funeral director. You may need to submit a copy of the death certificate to each insurer with whom your loved one had a life insurance contract.
