Mountain Valley Hospice recognizes the grieving (bereavement) process as a natural reaction to the loss of a loved one. We are committed to assisting people through this process. We do this by offering a variety of services to the families and caregivers of those whom we have served; but also to the greater community, regardless of the circumstances of their loss. Grief counseling is offered free of charge.
An overview of grief counseling services is outlined below.
For questions about bereavement services, please call:
518-725-4545 or 866-944-0108.
