HARBOUR HEIGHTS, Fla. – Oct. 23 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — A new company brings hope to those who need it…at a time they need it most. Officials from Hospice Cremation & Funerals, Inc. have announced the company has received IRS approval of a non-profit 501(c)(3) status and is now fully engaged in service. The first organization of its kind, the company is poised to be a ‘God-send’ for end-of-life patients who cannot afford dignified cremation or funeral services, often due to a financial draining of resources due to an extended illness.<\/p>\n

The mission of Hospice Cremation & Funerals is to provide Hospice patients and other families in need with the financial resources for a dignified cremation or funeral service. While positioning the company to one day provide service on a national basis, Hospice Cremation & Funerals currently offers service throughout Florida. <\/p>\n

“It’s been said that one of the greatest gifts a loved one can provide is dignity at the time of death,” comments Ron Nichols, CEO of Hospice Cremation & Funerals. “Unfortunately there are thousands of American families today who cannot afford a dignified service at the time of death. Often times the family has been literally drained emotionally and financially due to a long illness, and up until now has had no where to turn for help. This organization was created with a very singular purpose to assist those families.”<\/p>\n

Mr. Nichols knows all too well the pain that such circumstances cause a family at the time a death occurs. He and the majority of the company’s founding board of directors have worked in the death-care industry for many years and have seen families turned away for service on numerous occasions due to financial restraints. <\/p>\n

“We hope to reach out to those individuals who seem to have been forgotten. They have led a dignified life as mothers, fathers, grandparents, teachers, caregivers and veterans… and they deserve a dignified final disposition that their family can be proud of,” continues Nichols.<\/p>\n

As a non-profit organization, funding for Hospice Cremation & Funerals will be derived from corporate giving, personal contributions and fund-raising events. The company has created many levels of giving including the donation of in-kind goods and services. <\/p>\n

“The amount we are able to help families in need is directly related to the support we receive from the community,” states Tom James, President of Hospice Cremation & Funerals. “We believe that once corporations and individuals recognize that there is a substantial need that exists, they will be generous. Until now, this has been a subject that we as a society have simply not addressed, but that must change.”<\/p>\n
