Though hospice is not in charge of making formal funeral arrangements, our staff does help patients and their families make plans ahead of time so there’s a seamless transition from our care to a local funeral home. This ensures final wishes are known and honored, thus reducing stress on the family.

Such details include helping choose a funeral home, writing an obituary, deciding upon disposition of remains, finding a casket or urn and a proper burial place. Patients and their families can also discuss the type of service they want, pick meaningful passages to be read, choose who will perform the eulogy and select funeral music, videos and photos.

Though the length of stay for our patients varies, there is no limit to how long they can receive care if they meet the hospice criteria. Some patients are only with us a few hours while others might receive care for months or even years.

Some are discharged as their condition improves or if they want to pursue curative treatment, with the understanding that they can be readmitted at any time.

We also provide bereavement support to family members for a year following the death of their loved one. Families often share with us that they wish they had called us earlier to begin receiving services sooner.

For more information on starting hospice services, please call 304-768-8523.
