Prevent your family from having to ask the question:
What Do I Do Next?
After the death of a loved one, life becomes unpredictable and extremely stressful. That’s why, years ago, we created PPS Family Care℠ which provides exclusive services for all of our client’s families, free of charge.
WE OFFER PRACTICAL ASSISTANCE FOR YOUR LOVED ONES FOLLOWING A DEATH.
A Certified Copy of the Death Certificate is generally required to complete each transaction of business however, it is often not required to request the claim forms necessary to file for benefits.
