Bereavement Services

Grief is a natural and healthy response to loss, and affects us all at some point in our lives.

Each person reacts differently to grief, and it can be a very isolating experience. Jansen Hospice and Palliative Care is here to help you.

We have clinical social workers, specially trained counselors and volunteers who have experience dealing with all areas of bereavement. We offer individual counseling services as well as bereavement support groups.

Jansen Hospice and Palliative Care understand that everyone grieves differently. That is why we offer our families a variety of bereavement services for up to a period of 13 months following the death of their loved one.

Our bereavement services include:

  • Individual counseling sessions
  • Support groups
  • Phone calls
  • Condolence cards
  • Mailings after the first, third, sixth, ninth, and twelfth month
  • Closing letter after the twelfth month
  • Anniversary cards

Grief Support

Grief is a healthy and fitting response to loss, a tribute to a loved one who has died. Please join us to navigate the grief journey in a safe, supportive environment.

Bereavement programs specifically for children are provided through BCW Tree House.

This place and the workers are truly a blessing. I can never repay them for the help and support that they gave me with my mom. While no other company wanted to take my moms case they were the only ones willing to take it. They stood by me thru all the trials and tribulations and I could’ve never done that transition without them eternally grateful.
