There are several organizations in our area who offer grief support services to anyone in the community. It is not necessary for a family to have used their hospice services, for example, to receive additional support after a death has occurred. A few local organizations are listed here;

Gilchrist Services at https://www.gilchristservices.org/grief_registration
Hospice of the Chesapeake of Anne Arundel County at https://www.hospicechesapeake.org
Stella Maris, Inc. at http://www.stellamaris.org

In addition to the bereavement services for the families we serve,  we have provided some helpful grief support links below:
