SUPPORT AFTER THE FUNERAL - What’s next?

HELP IS AVAILABLE

No-one can understand exactly what your loss feels like to you. We do understand that it’s sometimes easier to talk to someone outside your immediate family and friends about your grief and the impact of bereavement on your life. This is why as members of SAIF, Holmes and Family offer the SAIFcare service to anyone over 18.

An initial call to SAIFcare places you under no obligation to go further, a member of the team will listen to your experience, answer any immediate questions you may have about bereavement support and share helpful information about the services available. Please call 0800 917 7224, the number may go to answerphone but don’t let that put you off, please leave your contact details and someone will get back to you. All of their people are friendly, reassuring and experienced.
