Comforting Those Who Grieve
We care for those who care for others. Through a multitude of resources, we support the vital role professional caregivers play in assisting those grieving the loss of a loved one.
Dignity Memorial Guidance Series®
To help people understand the grief that accompanies a loss, we offer the Dignity Memorial Guidance Series featuring the insights of renowned grief experts. This extensive collection of booklets and brochures offers professional advice and compassionate guidance to help those dealing with the complex emotions of grief.
Continuing Education for Professional Caregivers
We are committed to educating professional caregivers about the funeral profession, so together we can effectively support families of all cultures and religions and provide a continuum of care for the individuals we serve. In partnership with the Hospice Foundation of America, participating locations offer free funeral education courses to professional caregivers for continuing education credit.
Dignity Memorial LIFT®
The Dignity Memorial LIFT program, offered in select areas, helps surviving spouses adjust to the loss of a spouse or partner. Activities such as luncheons, sporting events, holiday activities, day trips and educational seminars provide opportunities for attendees to socialize with others who share similar feelings and experiences. There are no fees or dues to participate in the program. Members are only responsible for their personal expenses, and participation is not restricted to those served by Dignity Memorial providers.
In Times of Tragedy
When our communities hurt the most, we are there to help. In the aftermath of national tragedies, including natural disasters and mass shootings, our teams work closely with local and state authorities to provide resources, equipment and volunteers.
We may provide free or deeply discounted services to families affected by these tragedies in an effort to alleviate the financial burden of an unexpected funeral. We also know that grief is ongoing, and we help our communities commemorate, honor and remember the lives lost on the anniversary of tragedies.
Compassion Helpline®
We are committed to supporting the families we serve before, during and after the service. As such, we offer the 24-hour Compassion Helpline, which provides free confidential phone access to professionals trained in grief counseling.
