The professional care provided by the staff of Boyd-Panciera Family Funeral Care does not end with the funeral ceremony. The time following a death can be one of the most difficult times a family will face. This is one of the reasons Boyd-Panciera developed its Continuing Care Programs. Our staff is available to answer any questions families and friends may have regarding any of our programs.

Wings of Hope Bereavement Support Program - Our Wings of Hope Bereavement Support Program meets at our Community Center located in our Hollywood Blvd location. This 5 week program runs continuously to help grieving family members on their journey of healing. A full Calendar can be found on the Wings of hope website www.WingsOfHopeGroup.com/Calendar.

Holiday Support - Our Holiday program is held annually in early December, typically the first Friday. The holidays are especially difficult after experiencing the death of someone you love. The range of emotions move from anger to sadness and loneliness. What is usually a cheerful time of joyous memories becomes extremely painful. For this reason, Boyd-Panciera offers this special holiday program with a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist. The Holiday Program concludes with a memorial candle lighting service.

Tree of Memories - In early December, typically the first Sunday, families and friends are invited to the funeral home to write a message on an ornament, which is laminated and placed it on our Tree of Memories. The decorated tree remains in our lobby until the New Year, when the ornaments are returned to the families. Those attending are given a keepsake ornament to take home.

Community Life Planning Seminars - Life Planning Seminars are offered to the families we serve and the community in general. Those attending have the opportunity to have a simple Florida Will, prepared along with health care directives and a living will. A local licensed attorney conducts the seminar and is available to answer all questions regarding estates and wills. Boyd-Panciera provides a comprehensive estate and personal planning organizer for those attending the seminar.

Lending Library - We maintain a library of grief resource materials for use by the public. Our library includes over 100 books, videotapes and brochures authored or produced by nationally recognized authorities. Topics include grief and bereavement, loss of a parent, death of a child, explaining death to children, sudden & traumatic death and caregiving in general.
