Bereavement Services

UNC Hospice offers comprehensive bereavement care and counseling to our hospice patients and families. 

Grief support is available to patients and families while they are living with illness and to family members for 13 months after their loved one dies.  

UNC Hospice also offers grief support and counseling to the community. Our support groups, workshops, and memorial services are open to all persons.  Grief counseling is available for individuals in the community on a short-term basis.  Donations are appreciated.   To make an appointment, please call (919) 542-5545.

UNC Hospice offers grief education programs for schools and for professional, civic and church groups.  Programs are tailored to match the interests or needs of the group.  To arrange a program for your group, please call (919) 542-5545.

UNC Hospice holds an annual Memorial Gathering to remember our patients who have died.   Our service of remembrance is open to all hospice families and to all community members who have lost loved ones, including animal companions.
