Help within our Community
In addition to our Aftercare services, we offer rotating workshops and insight into what to expect following the death of a loved one. Throughout the year, we hold several memorial and remembrance services to honor those who have died, as well as those who have served our country faithfully.
Another unique opportunity we offer is our monthly luncheon on the fourth Tuesday of each month at a local restaurant. Members of this small group have looked forward to having lunch together for more than 12 years. This is a time of fellowship and encouragement and we would love to have you our join us at our grief support groups in South Carolina. Please contact Dru Strickland at (843) 881.9293 or email dru.strickland@jhenrystuhr.com for the monthly schedule or check our Events tab.

“The ABC’s of Grief”
Stuhr Funeral Home would like to invite the community to learn more about our “The ABC’s of Grief and Self-Care” program. We designed this program to support individuals through their personal grief journey.
Weekly Grief Support Workshop Schedule
This group meets weekly. The workshop consists of 4 sessions guided by a board certified grief counselor. It is designed to assist individuals who are mourning the loss of a loved one. Each week we will focus on a different aspect of the grieving process and you will have the opportunity to share and support one another. This program is designed so that an individual can join the group at any time.
Our next group will begin on Tuesday, April 18th and will continue each Tuesday through May 9th. The group will meet at Summerville Estates Gracious Retirement Living in Summerville from 2 PM until 3:30 PM.
The community is welcome. If you would like to attend a meeting or need additional information, please call or e-mail Linda Hair (843)723-2524 or Linda.Hair@jhenrystuhr.com.
