Who Can Benefit from Grief Talk©?

Our primary purpose is to provide support to the grieving children and their families served by Doherty Funeral Homes. We talk with children about their grief, the person who died, and what to expect during the funeral service. We also allow the children to take part in the service, and therefore, we provide them with a helpful experience.

"I wanted to thank you for your wonderful information on your web site for helping children with death and decision and preparation on a funeral.
