Yes and no. If the death is "an attended death" and a doctor is willing to sign off on the death certificate, then no police or 911 involvement needed. Also in many cases where the death is "unattended" and the person was in bad health and a doctor is willing to sign off on the death certificate,
then no need for police or 911. Especially in cases where the person is in hospice care.
After the hospice nurse comes to confirm death, all you need to do is call the funeral home to come pick up the decedent.
Been there, done that many times. Good luck with it.
