Losing a loved one is one of the most challenging experiences we face in life. Your relationship with Gunderson Life Celebrations Centers doesn’t end after a life celebration has been completed successfully. Our Aftercare service allows you to reach out to our Grief Support (counselors) whenever you feel like you need them. 

What are Aftercare Services?

We support you through every step after losing a loved one with expert guidance on benefits, finances, and estate affairs.  Services could include grief counseling sessions to help families process their loss or referrals to local support groups or mental health resources.

We have many resources on our website (blogs, webinars, and courses) as well as local community resources we can direct you to.  

What about children?

There are many good books and resources to help children cope with death and dying.  Sesame Street in Communities explores children's understanding of death and offers information about communicating, ideas for coping together, and ways to move forward with your children after a loss.

Allina Health provides a list of helpful children’s books to deal with different types of grief and death. These books can help start a meaningful conversation with your child.

Find other helpful strategies in our Guide to Supporting Children Through Grief.

Holidays can be particularly challenging for those grieving the loss of a loved one. Our goal at Gunderson Life Celebration Centers is to help provide remembrance through the holidays.
