The funeral is
over. What
can I do?
After a funeral has concluded many relatives
and friends of the family of the deceased person
would like to offer their assistance. But many
people are unsure how to go about it.
The best first step is to either call the family
and offer your help, or write a letter of condolence
expressing your sympathy. This can later be
followed by a telephone call.
If we can help you with a present or future need,
please call us.
