Continuing Care Program

After the loss of a loved one there is much that needs to be done and, from our many years of experience, we know that you may have many concerns. As a service to our families we offer a Continuing Care Program. This program provides essential follow-up services after the funeral arrangements for your loved one are complete. A knowledgeable, caring professional will help and assist you through some of the decisions you may need to make over the next few days and weeks. Please know that our support and care continue, helping you with looming questions so the unknown is not faced alone. Thank you for allowing our Continuing Care Coordinator to arrange a time with you to share this important information. Call (608) 238-3434 or email Info@CressFuneralService.com to begin this process now.

Support and follow-up bereavement services for families and individuals served by Cress Funeral Service are part of the Circle of Care offered. Often in the process of rebuilding and mourning it is helpful to seek the care and support of someone who understands the journey of life after loss. If you would like to speak with someone who has this experience and has dedicated themselves to offering support and feedback to facilitate growth through loss, Cress recommends, Sara Tripalin, Your Peace of Mind Therapy, www.yourpeaceofmindtherapy.com. Sara has been in practice at the UW Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Center and The Family Center Outpatient Clinic and will listen and guide you through this very difficult time of life.

In addition, we have an extensive library of support material and recommended resource links to foundations and organizations focused on grief and loss. The following is a brief list for your convenience. Please let us know if you find these helpful or if you have recommendations to add to our list.
