Perhaps in large cities and operates such a system between employees of the public sphere. Usually people choose who to turn to, or do all the trouble on their own. Besides, no one can force an agent on you. But there is a course of action that everyone should follow.

2. But to be safe, we advise after calling the ambulance to call also law enforcement agencies. They should make up check-in. Before the arrival of the police and the ambulance, it is forbidden to change the position of the body of the deceased and objects surrounding it.

After that, you can already find a funeral company that will deal with various chores and organize the whole process according to requirements and traditions.

Conclusion: the ambulance and the police should be called by the person who first saw that the person died (relative, neighbor, cohabitant). No need to involve third parties in this case. They may or may not be responsible for what you do. The business of funeral agencies is the organization of the funeral itself (time, priests, funeral service, dressing of the corpse, transport, memorial dinner).

They should not do paperwork because they have nothing to do with the deceased. They can only resolve these issues through their own channels, which is illegal and will ultimately cost you dearly.
