Second Payment (50% of total)

Tier 4 —  Supported Cost: If significant financial constraints make the full cost prohibitive.

Payment Requirements: 

Due once the ingestion date is confirmed with us. This payment should be received prior to your traveling to Vermont for the day you ingest the medication. 

Services Included with Second Payment: 

• We keep the medical team (doctors and hospice) informed of logistical plans related to your ingestion. 

• Together we identify an appropriate and safe location for ingestion.

• We continue to work with you to coordinate funeral arrangements. 

• We meet with you and your family/friends the day before ingestion to review the standard Vermont Medication Instructions; together we create a plan for ingestion day.

• We provide a trusted courier to pick up the medication from the pharmacist in Rutland, Vt (in the south-central region) and deliver it to the location of your ingestion. 

• On the day of ingestion, two members of our team are present: we provide compassionate, practical care; at the family’s request, we mix the medication and monitor ingestion; after death we notify hospice and the funeral home, which initiates the death certificate process.   

• Coordination with hospice and funeral home for post-mortem care.

• We remain present with family/friends until the process is complete.  

• We provide resources about free grief support groups.
