Introduction
At Murrant Family Funeral Services, we understand the profound and lasting impact of loss, and we want you to know that our door is always open, ready for a friendly chat or a shoulder to cry on. As funeral directors based in Norfolk, we regularly support families through the funeral process. Lola, the Jack Russell cross, has always been an integral part of Murrant Family Funeral Services and, as a bereavement dog, can sit with families when they visit us and is otherwise found snoozing in her bed or being spoilt by the team.
However, we also recognise the value of professional support and ongoing counselling to help you through this difficult time. This blog provides information on bereavement care and counselling resources that can offer the support and guidance you may need beyond the funeral.
