Saint Joseph, MO — Meierhoffer Funeral Home and Crematory plans to transition to a Healing Farewell Center.

In a news release issued Thursday the Funeral Home said it plans to hold a event to announce is transition Feb. 12 at 8:30 a.m. at its location on 5005 Frederick Avenue.

During the presentation, Meierhoffer said it plans to present and explain the seven-step process that has been proven to be more effective at helping people who are grieving a loved one.

“We are always looking for ways to improve the way we serve families through educating them about what farewell Services provide. Farewell Services go far beyond what has been the standard in funeral services,” said Scott Meierhoffer, CEO.

The funeral home said that Healing Support Services will be available to assist families coping with death.

“We cannot remove the pain caused by loss, but having a plan in place that addresses spiritual, emotional, and relational needs can help families to begin healing,” said Todd Meierhoffer, President.
