Multi award-winning independent family funeral directors, Anderson Maguire, has partnered with bereavement support,  an online service created by bereavement experts where anyone who visits the Anderson Maguire website can chat directly to a specially trained bereavement counsellor.

Noeleen Hale, Managing Director of Anderson Maguire Funeral Directors, commented:

“The depth and strength of feeling when you lose a loved one can be overwhelming.  Each person’s experience of grief is deeply personal, and it is often the case that dealing with the practicalities can leave little time to address the emotional toll of bereavement.  We encourage everyone who needs it to access GriefChat support services.”
