We provide support to you and your loved ones throughout the entire process of coping with loss, including before, during, and after. Aftercare, a service we offer at no cost, is a follow-up consultation after the funeral or memorial service. Its aim is to assist those who are dealing with pressing estate matters after the loss of a loved one, such as the surviving family members, next of kin, or executors. This consultation typically lasts about an hour and can be held either at the funeral home or in the convenience of your own home. The consultation covers a range of topics, including:
-
Cancelling
- Canada Pension Plan Benefits
- OAS Benefits
- SIN number and card
- Health card
-
Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security
- application for lump-sum death benefit
- application for survivors benefit, and childrens benefits (if applicable)
