Aftercare
“After the funeral…what happens then?”
The loss of a loved one is life’s most troubling event. Many times, a family member has particular difficulty coping with grief and bereavement. Everyone mourns differently and grieving helps to heal after a loss. When you or someone you love needs help dealing with the death of a loved one, we can help. We offer bereavement services, referrals to grief counselors and support groups, and offer a 1000-volume Thanatology lending library with extensive materials on important topics related to grief, care of the aging, hospice, death, and dying.

Watch this site for information about our frequent in-service presentations and educational seminars…and ask for a free copy of “Legacy,” our community service newsletter, published two to three times a year.

For over 171 years, our family has been here for you…before, during, and after the funeral.

Often, families appreciate additional support when dealing with the loss of a loved one. We have a close connection with two Bereavement Group Facilitators, Monica Magner and Joan Adinolfi Mallory.
