In my wandering around the NFDA Expo floor I came across a booth manned by representatives of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, a non-profit member organziation and clearing house for hospice related information.
Amazingly, they have loads of resource materials available for dowload which can help funeral homes and funeral directors meet the needs of community service presentations, the prearrangement process and grief recovery after a loss.
According to the representative in Vegas, funeral homes may also license the electronic documents to include on their website and co-branded paper copies may be purchased as well.
Topics include the following:
Advance Care Planning Legal Issues
Advance Directives
Planning Ahead
Caregiving
End-of-Life Care
Grief
Grief in the Workplace
Pain
Pediatric
Planning for Long Term Care
Professional Resources
Serious Illness
Spirituality
Resources in Spanish
In some cases you will find 5 or 6 documents under a single heading. To see the full listing, follow the link. Caring Connections: PDF Brochures. For hard copies you can purchase online here: NHPCO: Online Marketplace or use the member services hotline number at 800.646.6400 for bulk purchases, web licenses and co-branding information.
