Grief Resources

 

At Berg Mortuary we provide the very best in services during the funeral and after the funeral. One of our experienced, professional After Care Counselors makes a personal visit to each family we serve in the days immediately after the funeral to help them in the following areas.

  • Social Security: We will contact Social Security for you to arrange for survivor benefits and apply for the lump sum death benefit $255.

     
  • Pension or Annuity: We contact pension companies, IRA administrators and Annuity companies to help you apply for continuing benefits or lump sum death benefits.

     
  • Life Insurance: We contact life insurance companies and help you fill out the sometimes difficult paperwork.

     
  • Select an appropriate headstone: We will help you with all of the design work and do the “running around” for you.

     
  • We also provide information about health insurance, what to do with checking accounts, credit cards, tax abatements, wills and trusts, probate, and other areas of concern to the survivor.

     
  • Best of all, these services are included at no additional cost. They are our way of extending the care we provide to our families beyond the funeral service and cemetery.

We also provide the following grief support and memorial material to each family who requests them.
