What we do
The Bereavement Service complements the care and support routinely offered to bereaved relatives by hospital and community staff by:
- Providing advice and information on practical issues following bereavement, e.g. registering a death, arranging a funeral, etc.
- Providing booklets and other information resources.
- Signposting to sources of further advice and support in the community.
- Developing policies, procedures and guidelines for bereavement care.
- Supporting and advising staff in relation to bereavement care.
- Providing education within clinical areas and contributing to wider training programmes.
- Liaising with external agencies (such as registrars, funeral directors and the procurator fiscal) to ensure good communication and effective working relationships.
We do not provide bereavement counselling but can give details of services that do.
