Grief Recovery Program
One of the least acknowledged and least addressed concerns in society today is grief, the normal and natural reaction to loss.

The Piscataway Funeral Home is pleased to offer bereavement support workshops that will assist you in resolving these loss issues and help you to move beyond your grief to a richer quality of life. Workshop groups will be held once a month - the 1st Monday of each month at our South Plainfield Funeral Home, and the 3rd Monday of each month at our Middlesex Funeral Home.

The programs will be facilitated by Carol Burner, MA, Certified Grief Recovery Specialist. The sessions are free and open to everyone in the community. For further information or to register, call the Piscataway Funeral Home at (732) 968-2828 or Carol Burner at (732) 562-8565. There is other additional information at Carol's website, as well.
