Neville receives ‘overwhelming’ response to bereavement support group

Neville Funerals has been “overwhelmed” by the response to the return of its free in-person bereavement support groups, Talking Elephants, as they resumed post-lockdown.

The Talking Elephants groups provide individuals with free, local face-to-face bereavement support and the opportunity to engage with those in the community who have been through a similar experience.

Meeting in Luton, Dunstable, Stopsley and Woburn Sands, the groups have received positive feedback with the community “glad” to see their return.

Vicky Trumper, director at Neville Funerals, said: “Support for the bereaved, like so many community services, was difficult to find during the lockdown months – sadly when it was needed the most.

“Our Talking Elephants groups were initially launched for people to come together with others who have also experienced bereavement, and we are delighted to be able to host and support these groups again, and expand their reach.”
