Grief Support
Holding a funeral or memorial service for your loved one is a first step in the grieving process. During this time, family and friends have an opportunity to say their goodbyes, share strong emotions, and comfort one another.

In the days, weeks and months following the service, people continue to need others to lean on for understanding, encouragement and guidance. Local and national support groups are available to help during this time of transition.
