Not an easy time. Lovely of you to be present like that. Hugs too all of you.

The police will come and they will notify the coroner and the coroner takes the body either to the funeral home of choice or the county morgue

It’s good of you to sit with your friend

The other friends and family to see what they recommend. Otherwise call the local police?

She may have info about that, especially if she has been in hospice care or has any other recent contact with medical care entities.

Find out what is legally required in the community where she is.

The family or the medical community in attendance should have instructions for all of you, a number to call.

call to the coroner's office.

when he died by suicide. My SIL called 911, the cops came, and they handled everything else. My daughter was upstairs trying not to fall apart while she explained everything to her kids.

Since It is a death, that has to be confirmed by emergency services, reported to the coroner, etc.. The best is to call 911 and say you think your friend just passed and you need help.

My mother was released from the hospital to home under hospice care. I was her primary care provider with great support from the hospice staff. I can't say enough good about them!

After my mother drew her last breath I simply called the number they provided. They were wonderful and took care of everything. Sent a nurse to confirm death, contacted the funeral home, and her physicians.

They continued to check in with me for a few more days to see if I needed anything - spiritual or social.

Thinking about the tough time you're experiencing. Hope this helps.

The family should have a plan. Nurse or doctor to fill out the death certificate and then the funeral service that collects the body.

The hospice agency will come over at the time of death and pronounce/call in the funeral home. Otherwise, pick a funeral home in advance, let them know of the situation, and then at the time call the police (nobody's going to care if you call 911 vs the regular number), tell them "my friend died from cancer, it was expected". But get hospice involved now if they aren't already.
