After Service Care
We understand that the journey does not end when the funeral has occurred. We offer ongoing support to anyone who would like it, by way of phone calls, or by our group 'cuppa and a chat'
Continuing Care
Although very important, the funeral is only the first step we take in 'saying goodbye'. As you begin to work through your grief, the road ahead may seem long and lonely.
Relatives and friends will be especially helpful at the time of death and at the funeral.
However, as the weeks and months pass after the death, they may not always be available to comfort you and to allow you to talk about the person you love and miss so much.
After the funeral, therefore, at no cost to our clients, Hope and Sons provides a Bereavement Support Service to extend the care we give to families we serve.
Bereavement Support Service
Some of our families may not need this additional service; others will need it and benefit from it. This will involve a phone call, a letter and/or a visit from our coordinator who will follow up as required. We also host a monthly Cuppa and Chat - enquire for more details.
In addition, we are available to speak to community groups on the topics of death and how to cope with grief. Clients are also free to use our extensive library of informative literature on these topics.
