RedArc, the added-value support service, is strengthening its bereavement offering through a new partnership with Funeral Experts, which has joined its roster of specialist third-party support providers.
Funeral Experts is an independent, impartial service that supports individuals and families through the practical, financial and administrative challenges that can arise at the end of life and following a death. This includes funeral advice, welfare benefits advice, income maximisation, death notifications, probate and estate administration guidance and support with end-of-life planning. The organisation works alongside NHS Trusts, local authorities and charities to ensure people receive timely, joined-up support when they need it most. This makes Funeral Experts a natural fit for RedArc, whose approach is centred on helping people navigate the wide-ranging practical and emotional challenges that can arise at this time.
RedArc is widely recognised for its expertise in bereavement support: through its nurse-led service, it provides guidance on coping with grief, supporting children, managing the practical consequences of a loss, and accessing specialist services where needed. It can also arrange additional support, such as bereavement counselling, children’s resources, complementary therapies, sleep and nutritional support, and equipment to support independent living. While practical needs often reduce over time, many people continue to value the ongoing emotional support provided by a compassionate, non-judgemental professional.
Christine Husbands, commercial consultant at RedArc, said: “Dealing with funeral arrangements and managing a loved one’s estate is never easy, particularly when emotions are still raw and important decisions need to be made quickly. The practical responsibilities that follow a death can feel overwhelming, so we’re very pleased to be partnering with Funeral Experts to provide specialist support in this area, complementing the wide-ranging help that RedArc already offers to bereaved individuals and their families.”
Jason Ghous, CEO of Funeral Experts, said: “We’ve supported thousands of bereaved families through the early stages following a death, helping them navigate funeral arrangements, administration and paperwork at what is often an incredibly difficult time. We’re pleased to be working with RedArc and contributing an additional layer of practical expertise to its already comprehensive bereavement support service.”
