What does at-need counseling typically address?

  1. Pre-planning for funerals

  2. Immediate needs and arrangements after a death

  3. Long-term grief counseling

  4. Community support resources

The correct answer is: Immediate needs and arrangements after a death

At-need counseling primarily focuses on the immediate needs and arrangements that arise following a death. This type of counseling caters specifically to individuals who are dealing with the urgent responsibilities and decisions that come with end-of-life services. The goal is to guide families through the process of planning a funeral or memorial service, addressing emotional needs, and navigating the logistics involved, such as selecting a casket, choosing burial or cremation options, and coordinating details regarding the service itself. While other aspects, like pre-planning or grief counseling, are important parts of the overall funeral service landscape, they are not the primary focus of at-need counseling, which is concerned with the specific, immediate circumstances following a loss.
