1. The Titan Casket Mourning and Grief Information Hub

Titan Casket’s goal is to offer you valuable information about the grief journey and the rituals associated with mourning to help you navigate this challenging time. Our mourning and grief information hub offers you a reliable source of answers to the most often asked questions. Articles range from those defining the five stages of grief to suggestions about what to say to someone who is dying. Coping mechanisms for how someone might deal with grief are explored, and popular models for how one processes the often overwhelming feelings associated with grief are discussed. 

No matter which type of grief you are experiencing, from anticipatory to disenfranchised, the waves of emotions can be intense and require patience, as well as the help of a strong, supportive network. Titan Casket’s mourning and grief articles are designed to help you take the first steps toward healing by offering information that can help you assess where you are in the grieving process and how to help those around you who are dealing with loss. While many of the articles are specific to death and dying, others include examples of how sudden disruptions in a job or a relationship may also plunge someone into one of the stages of grief. 

Wherever you find yourself in the mourning and grief journey, Titan Casket can supply you with the information you need to move forward. And, of course, if you would like to talk to a funeral concierge for help with specific questions relating to your loved one, Titan Casket is always here to help, 24/7. Just give us a call at 1-501-298-4346, and you will be connected to a funeral concierge who can provide you the support you need during this process.
