description The death of a child can be an overwhelming experience for parents. Hospitals are often the first place to get information or to seek services, yet little is known about what types of bereavement services, information, or support are typically available. This study was designed to identify types of bereavement support offered to parents whose child died at a pediatric hospital, to ascertain who provides support and to see how those services are institutionally organized and funded. The investigation gathered data using an online, custom-designed survey completed by bereavement providers at 122 of the 188 pediatric hospitals invited to participate. This article summarizes the ways hospitals follow-up with families, from provision of educational materials to a menu of support services including memorial services, counseling, and community referrals.
