After the service: What else is there to do after losing a loved one?

Tue, 19 May 2026 15:31:23 GMT

Dealing with the death of someone close to you is one of the hardest things most of us will go through. We know your grief, and your responsibilities, won’t end after the funeral service. Support shouldn’t either.

La Paloma Funeral Services is committed to guiding families through funeral arrangements, and now that care and guidance extends beyond the service, thanks to La Paloma Aftercare.

La Paloma Aftercare helps families navigate the many essential tasks that follow a loss. Estate specialists assist with claiming benefits, making necessary notifications and protecting against fraud — so families can focus on healing instead of paperwork.

Losing a loved one comes with an overwhelming list of responsibilities. Settling an estate can take 12 to 18 months, and families are put through additional stress as they worry about missing something important.

La Paloma Aftercare provides expert support to walk you through matters like:

Securing death certificates
Navigating life insurance
Applying for Social Security
Understanding pensions
Claiming investments
Notifying employers
Notifying creditors

These are just the basics. La Paloma Aftercare can also help you claim assets your loved one may not have even known about. In the U.S. alone, $70 billion sits in state-managed, unclaimed property funds. After a death, unclaimed property is frequently overlooked because families aren’t aware it exists. These funds can include forgotten accounts, refunds or other assets that were never claimed or updated over time.

La Paloma Aftercare is included in all La Paloma Funeral Services packages at no additional cost. And yes, if you used another funeral service provider locally or overseas, you can still sign up for La Paloma Aftercare for a nominal fee.
