While the articles in our grief library can make a difference in your day-to-day life, please don't hesitate to call us should you need additional support. We will do our best to ease your bereavement and, if requested, provide a referral to a local grief counselor or therapist.
Guidance Beyond the planning process there are a number of items that need to be considered for those either planning or attending a funeral or memorial service. The pages in this section help detail what you should expect from the meetings with the funeral home, what sort of documentation you should prepare for these meetings, and also a task list of items to be sure you take care of after the funeral. We hope you find these resources helpful and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to give us a call.

If you're one of those inexperienced individuals, you'll be pleased to know we've put together this list of frequently-asked-questions just for you.
