Grief Support Program

CFCS Colorado is dedicated to providing caring support before, during, and after the end-of-life process, thereby fulfilling our core purpose of "Filling the Void of Loss with Faith". We have partnered with St. Raphael Counseling (a ministry of the Archdiocese of Denver Catholic Charities) to provide a Grief Support Program to the families served. Through this partnership, we offer a tiered grief support program to meet the needs of our families and to help families navigate the journey of grief.

The Grief Support Program offers the following services to families served by CFCS Colorado through the Archdiocese of Denver Mortuary and is also open to the public as part of our community outreach.
