Everything for a meaningful farewell

Since 1931, we have been arranging funerals according to personal wishes. Our experienced funeral directors are here to help you organize the cremation or burial exactly as you envision it, while taking as many concerns off your hands as possible. We understand better than anyone that a thoughtful and personal farewell can offer comfort to those left behind.

What to do in the event of a death

When someone passes away, there are a number of important steps that need to be taken immediately. Below you will find an overview.

Step 1: Call the general practitioner (GP)

The attending physician or GP confirms the death. Until a doctor has been there, the deceased may not be moved. During weekends, you can call the out-of-hours GP service. If there is a suspicion of an unnatural death or a crime, call 112.

Step 2: Visit by the examining doctor (coroner)

In many cases, an examining doctor will visit afterwards. This doctor assesses the death and prepares the official death certificate.

Step 3: Contact PC Uitvaart

Once the death has been confirmed, you can contact us. We are available 24/7 via 0800 50 80.

We will take care of the necessary legal documents, so you do not have to worry about them.

We listen to your wishes, think along with you, and arrange everything surrounding a farewell that suits your loved one. From paperwork to planning, from details to coordination on the day itself. This way, you have the space for grief, memories, and a personal goodbye.

When a parent passes away suddenly, your whole world is turned upside down. The first question then is: who will arrange the funeral? We had positive experiences with PC Uitvaart in the past, so the choice was quickly made. The support and help with organizing the funeral were excellent and gave us the guidance and reassurance we truly needed during that difficult time. It meant a lot to us.

Mevr. D. A. (Almere)
From the very first point of contact up to the day of the funeral, we were guided with great care. Our wishes were listened to attentively, and everything was arranged with thoughtfulness and dedication. This gave us the space to say goodbye in a meaningful way, for which we are truly grateful.

A special thank you to Lucas – the personal farewell for Mom was an unforgettable experience. Compliments for his work and the respect he showed for the deceased.

Dhr. J.B. van B. (Zwaag)
The sad event was shaped by PC into an absolutely wonderful moment, filled with joy, love, memories, grief, reality – a true part of life. The guidance from Astrid is truly beyond words – so loving, understanding, and yet firm in making decisions.

All in all, it became a beautiful experience that we will carry with us forever. Thank you so, so much.
