The grief accompanying the loss of a loved one is a complex process that takes time. Hillside works closely with organizations that offer comfort, support and information to people in mourning.

Bereavement Support Groups
Hillside Memorial Park understands that losing a loved one is one of life’s most difficult changes, and grief can seem overwhelming. It is important to know that you do not have to go through the grieving process alone. We have partnered with Our House and Hope Connection to provide additional support and resources.
Grief is a natural reaction after the death of someone close. Yet in society, few people are prepared for the intensity and duration of the grief process. Learn about OUR HOUSE Grief Support center and how it was founded on the premise that grievers need understanding, support, and connection. If you or someone you care about is grieving, they are here to help.
