Supporting You
Our support to you extends beyond arranging the funeral of a loved one. At AB Walker, we understand and offer support in both the grieving process and practical matters.
How we support you
The death of a loved one is a particularly difficult time when the immediate matter of planning a funeral, managing your own complex feelings of loss and beginning the practical adjustment to new circumstances all occur at the same time.
We have developed a comprehensive aftercare programme to support you and your family through this period and beyond.
Loss and bereavement support
Grief is a natural reaction to loss and affects everyone differently. AB Walker understands this and offers different levels of support to meet varying needs:
- Speak to a qualified, professional bereavement counsellor through GriefChat, a free, live instant chat service
- Investigate your feelings for yourself with our guides and bereavement resources
- If you’re struggling to come to terms with a loss we run The Link, our bereavement group course
Practical support
Helping you with the practical aspects of a loved one’s death. Whether you are dealing with house clearance or would like help with notifying organisations of the death, AB Walker are on hand to share information and contacts of businesses that can help.
