After Care Program

The days following a funeral can be stressful and perplexing for a family who have suffered a loss of a loved one, as well as those who are acting as executor or executrix, responsible for the estate. At the Murphy Funeral Home we continue to provide guidance and support through our aftercare assistance. Filling out applications for survivor benefits, notifications, transfer of benefits and Things to do Checklists are but a few of the things we do that are greatly appreciated by the families we have served.

Murphy Funeral Home will help you and your family by easing the stress of making contact with Canada Pension, Superannuation, Income Securities, Life Insurance Companies, and any other source you request. On your behalf we will also will return health card, social insurance card, seniors privilege card, passport or any other document that requires it be returned. We provide an extensive estate checklist to help you remember other duties that are required of the estate trustee/executor. We offer all of this to you at no additional cost.
