We send a single rose to the person listed as primary bereaved, along with a sympathy card, and have received comments from families that this was meaningful to them.

After the death of a loved one, we send the assigned bereaved family member a sympathy card signed by the hospice staff and an ornament with their name added to it. At the year anniversary, we send a memorial mailing. This is all on top of our bereavement phone calls we do every few months if needed.

We are seeking to understand ways programs are following up with surviing family members or survivors after the loss of a loved one. Are you sending a memorial gift / acknowledgement, a meal, or only following up through a bereavement counselor and resources. We would appreciate any thoughts.
