Notify your loved one's community

Your loved one was likely close to other people within their community, neighborhood, civic organization, or religious congregation. Often people in these communities can help you arrange the funeral or other ceremonies. They can also be a source of physical, emotional, or financial support throughout your grieving period.

We recommend reaching out to at least one person from each community, who can then reach out to others. This is another task that you can delegate to a friend or family member.
