Bereavement services support your family in the event of your death, and to help you deal with the loss of a loved one. Receive high-quality, on-demand support when anticipating or managing through loss to ensure you and your family has all of the information and advice to know that you are proceeding correctly.
Combining technology and human support, bereavement services helps families navigate all the aspects of loss: planning a funeral, writing an obituary, closing down a loved one’s accounts, settling their financial affairs, and more. Support includes a team of Care Managers to provide full support as you tackle each task, decision and challenge. They can provide you with compassionate guidance, help you with certain tasks, and connect you to professional service providers in your area if you need them.
The process of dealing with a loved one’s loss can be a bit lighter if you share the burden with others, and the app allows several family members or friends to use a single account. This will help to collaborate on tasks, assign steps to one another, and track each other’s progress.
