Bereavement Services
When someone is very ill, everyone in the family is affected. The care provided by Harris HospisCare extends beyond the treatment of physical symptoms to consider the emotional and social needs of patients, families and their friends and carers.
The experienced team consists of a social worker, welfare officer and bereavement co-ordinator. The social worker can help people to deal with the emotional and psychological consequences of someone close to them dying. The welfare officer is available to advise on financial difficulties. We offer a range bereavement support for anyone whose relative or friend was cared for by Harris HospisCare.
Our team of trained Bereavement Service Volunteers brings a variety of experience to our care at the hospice and can visit people in their own homes if needed.
Harris HospisCare organises a Memorial service twice a year, for family and friends to come together to remember their loved ones.
The Candle Project for children offers support to children and their families who have not had contact with Harris HospisCare before bereavement.
Every year, near Christmas Day, we hold a Remembrance Tree Service of Dedication at two sites in the South of Bromley when dedicated lights are switched on. There is an opportunity for people to dedicate a light in remembrance of a loved one. For further information ring our fundraising department on 01689 825755.
