After The Funeral Service
The funeral service is arranged and then it is over - what happens next? Some families feel like they are lost and don't know what to do. The crowds of visitors have gone and you or other members of your family may feel the need to speak to someone else. In some instances with severe reactions of grief or other health related issues, it may be imperative to seek professional help. Some of the organisations listed below provide specific types of welfare and advice, while others may be able to help with assistance in other matters.
