Resources
Support and guidance when you need it most
No matter the circumstances surrounding death; whether sudden or chronic, peaceful or violent, sudden, unexpected, or even anticipated, death is difficult for everyone to cope with. Below are a variety of resources to help not only the survivors in the immediate family, friends of the survivors, but even attendees of the visitation and/or funeral. The staff at O’Connell’s are always here to help in any way that we can; if that means sitting down over a cup of coffee and offering a helpful ear, or helping to guide people to the right resources to best suit their needs.
