Funeral Directors and other funeral service professionals often work with families during one of the most difficult times in their lives.
Funeral homes are one of the first contacts with families and loved ones after a suicide loss, which is an incredibly difficult and overwhelming time. Having the right information and support available in those early moments can make a real difference.
Those impacted by suicide can be at an increased risk for depression, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts compared with those grieving other types of losses. A compassionate, nonjudgemental approach by funeral professionals can help create a supportive environment during this difficult time.
