Following someone's death, bereaved people may struggle with their grief. When a patient receives palliative care, bereavement support for the patient's family is an expected function of specialist palliative care services. To date, detailed descriptions of the purpose, function and provision of support from bereavement services are limited. This study examined how specialist palliative bereavement services self-defined their functions and described any support and interventions they offer.
