Bereavement Support
Honest answers, advice and support
All bereavements are different; the circumstances that surround the situation are unique to that particular relationship
When close friends and family are there as you experience bereavement, they want to be able to help. However it can be hard to know how to advise or offer the right bereavement support.
Bereavement is a difficult but important part of dealing with a loss. Experts and organisations that have a large amount of experience with similar situations can offer guidance and support, or even just an understanding chat.
Rowland Brothers can put you in touch with these agencies, discreetly and sensitively. We have a number of publications written specifically to help with bereavement and loss, as well as a grief support Facebook page where you can find information on our support groups and other useful links.
We look to give all families the bereavement support they require when dealing with the loss of a loved one. Our understanding of bereavement all over the world has allowed us to help many struggling families. We are able to give you the support you need. Contact us for a no obligation conversation, to find out what we can do for you and how we will assist you through the grieving process.
