Funeral homes and cremation centres wishing to be a step ahead of the pack have enhanced their service packages by offering comprehensive grief support resources for clients.

McAlister Smith Funeral home has since integrated “365 Days of Healing” on their website to reach their bereaved clients. The bereaved’s name and email address are all one needs to fill in the online form on the website, to benefit from the service. Afterwards, the client receives daily messages and resources by email to help them through the grieving process.

The Pre-Arrange Your Funeral option from Palmetto Cremation Society, eases a family’s emotional burden as it prepares for the demise of their loved one. The option enables a client to makes his or her wishes known to the family. That eliminates conflicts and brings closure to reduce grief and sorrow once the inevitable happens.
McAlister Smith Funeral home encourages opening a user account for the pre-planning process for one’s final rites. The adequately detailed process considers the input of other family members in the arrangement.

Prolonged depression manifesting in continual sadness and psychosomatic disorders such as lack of appetite, loss of interest in activities of one’s daily life, loss of energy and insomnia are signs that one needs grief support and guidance. The transition of life back to normalcy after a great loss is difficult in the absence of adequate and professional support.

McAlister Smith Funeral home grief resources include a library of relevant books, and brochures and videos lent to clients. A licensed social worker on site organizes support groups, individual counselling services, workshops and the Annual Service of Remembrance to help families and individuals. The funeral home has a detailed question- and-answer grief web page.

Alternatively, support is availed by subscribing to the daily email program or by sending a personal email to the home requesting special advice or assistance. Palmetto Cremation Society acknowledges, “Someone who is having trouble beginning to actively re-engage in life after a few months, should consider getting professional help”.
