The professional and personal care provided by the O’Connell Family Funeral Homes does not end with the funeral ceremony. It is consoling for families to feel the love and support of family and friends during their time of need. But in the days and weeks following the funeral, the bereaved need continued support. The time following a death can be one of the most difficult times a family will face.

Our aftercare program has become a customary part of our service. Our Continuing Care Program is designed to assist you and your family through the tough times and anniversaries. After all, our family truly understands how devastating a loss can be following the violent death of our loved one, Dan. We appreciate the little things and carry out all the details to their fullest. Our family is available to answer any questions families and friends may have regarding the loss of a loved one and the grieving process and we will walk along with you and your family during your loss.
