Helping you navigate what comes next.
ONGOING SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES AFTER THE FUNERAL
A Unique O’Donnell Benefit
Losing a loved one is one of life’s most challenging experiences, and managing the many tasks that follow a loved one’s death can be intensified by the grieving process. All O’Donnell Funeral Home clients receive access to two important services designed to help navigate the journey that follows: Full-Circle Aftercare and grief support.
Compassionate Guidance, Even After the Funeral
Our partners at Full-Circle Aftercare provide personalized services for managing the administrative details that follow the death of a loved one, from closing accounts to securing benefits. Here’s how O’Donnell Funeral Home’s aftercare program can help simplify what comes next.
Understanding What’s Next
Full Circle Aftercare will arrange a one-on-one meeting via phone or in-person to walk you through all the necessary business details following the loss of a loved one.
Making Notifications
Estate specialists will take the lead in making necessary notifications to government agencies, financial institutions, the deceased registry, and insurance companies.
Ensuring Claim Benefits
Estate specialists will help navigate and transition benefits, including social security, pensions, or insurance benefits.
Moving Forward, Protected
Our partners will initiate fraud protection and wrap up other affairs, including blocking junk mail, canceling memberships and subscriptions, and blocking solicitors.
365 Days of Grief Support
Recognizing that your grief journey continues after a funeral concludes, we offer one year of free daily grief support emails and text messages to every family we serve. We hope these messages provide ongoing comfort as you navigate the loss of your loved one.

“After O’Donnell perfectly handled the services for our family, the Aftercare telephone session with Melissa was smooth, professional, and very helpful to me in understanding the next steps needed to be done to settle her estate. I couldn’t have possibly asked for more help and compassion.”
