Losing a loved one is an emotional journey that can be devastating to the family members left behind. During these difficult times, families can suffer through the many stages of grief and are often in need of support. Thankfully, funeral homes not only offer assistance in planning and burying loved ones, but they can also help families go through the many stages of grief.

At Evans Funeral Chapel & Cremation Services, we provide more than the standard services and are determined to help families with grief. Below, we discuss how the caring experts at an established funeral home can help families grieve their loved ones.

Right after losing someone, most people enter the long process of grieving a loved one. While this can look different for everyone, grief often causes both physical and psychological changes. Someone grieving a loved one may experience nausea, insomnia, nightmares, and even feelings of guilt.

These feelings are perfectly normal! Everyone deals with their emotions differently. Some people might finish the grieving process in a month and for others it can take years.

Choosing a funeral home can help families acknowledge their grief. People tend to be in denial in the beginning stages of planning a funeral but funeral directors can help families acknowledge their grief while also helping to ease the stress of planning a funeral.

After the loss of a loved one, families must often immediately start thinking about funeral arrangements before they’ve even been able to process the loss. This can be a lot for families who are already overwhelmed with processing the death of a family member.

Not only can your funeral director help you learn about the different stages of grief, but they can also provide a wide range of other services, including:
- Providing a place for friends and families can celebrate the life of a loved one

- Assisting families with filling out paperwork for burial or cremation

- Planning a catered meal following the funeral

- Creating obituaries

- Ordering and taking care of flowers given by friends or family

- Coordinating transportation to graveside burial
