Even though most Americans over the last decade have died due to chronic illness, over 2,000 adults die every year in accidents in Oregon alone. In this trilogy, we are going to talk about what to do if a loved one dies in an accident. 
An accidental death can cause a lot of confusion and grief. Holding a service for a loved one who has died in an accident can be stressful and overwhelming. 
There are many things to consider after an unexpected or sudden death, especially when planning a service. In this episode, Brian talks about the different parts of a service and how they can be impacted by a sudden death. Brian also addresses what happens when a suicide occurs and the common questions families have about autopsy and suicide. 
This is the second in a three part series talking about types of accidental deaths, autopsy, and planning a funeral after the unexpected sudden death.
