At Surrey Green Burials we understand the importance of the funeral being part of the process of bereavement. But we also recognise the emotional turmoil that can ensue after we have had to say goodbye. We can be left feeling lonely and confused about all that has happened. We know that having a space to express these emotions and talk through these difficult feelings can go some way to alleviating the pain of the process.
If you feel the need for some support around your bereavement please let us know and we can let you know when our next group will take place. However if you prefer to seek your own support below are some helpful organisations specifically for grief and bereavement support:
