Thoughtful Service, Sincerely Rendered Since 1926.

Aftercare

Holding a funeral or memorial service for your loved one is a positive first step in the grieving process. Family members and friends get a chance to say their goodbyes, and at the same time, they get to share strong feelings with one another.

In the days, weeks and months following the service, people continue to need others to lean on for understanding, encouragement and guidance. For that reason, many local support groups have formed. These groups provide a common place and a comforting environment for expressing emotions through each phase of the grieving process. To learn more, click on the available links below, or discuss grief counseling and support options with your funeral director.

"As things start to return to some semblance of normal, I cannot help but reflect on all I've been through in this last month. I would feel extremely remiss if I didn't take the time to thank you personally, but also your staff, for the wonderful service you provided for my family and myself. I want you to know that from the very first I knew that everything was going to be okay… not just in a so-so manner, but in an exemplary manner. My confidence in [Ryan Funeral Home] was well founded. Thank you for doing the wonderful job you do. I truly appreciate it."

"Thank you so very much for the kind and compassionate care you gave to our family upon the death of our mother. From the moment [you] met us at Rennes Health Care… through the day of the funeral, all of you demonstrated the utmost professionalism, while at the same time showed genuine care and concern for our family and for mom. May God bless you and give you the strength to continue providing the excellent and compassionate service that we were so fortunate to have received. "
