About Us
3 "A" Bereavement Foundation (3ABF) offers a wide range of bereavement services for low-income and working poor in the Houston Metropolitan Area.

Responsibilities
At 3ABF, we stay connected with bereaved families for up to 9 months after our initial contact to assess the need for additional services and/or simply to check in on them.

All of this can be done from your home on your schedule. We will provide all of the supplies that you need!
