Page A2 SEPTEMBER 2019 FUNERAL HOME & CEMETERY NEWS S ec t i on A MANCHESTER,NH— The non- profit Phaneuf Family Founda- tion launched this summer to pro- vide financial assistance for funeral and cremation arrangements for needy individuals and families in New Hampshire and Vermont. The foundation will also provide financial support to hospice and other caregiver organizations and present scholarships to students at- tending a New England mortuary college. “The Phaneuf Family Foundation provides us the ability to assist fam- ilies in need, as well as those who pass away without family to hon- or them,” said Arthur O. “Buddy” Phaneuf, president of Phaneuf Fu- neral Homes and Crematorium. Phaneuf also serves as a trustee and chairman of the board of the foun- dation. “I am also very happy to support the next generation of fu- neral directors through scholarships to mortuary school.” Financial assistance has long been available through city, town and state welfare departments to New Hampshire and Vermont families who cannot afford the total cost of a cremation or funeral service. Welfare departments will typical- ly pay an average of $750, and the most inexpensive service at funeral homes in New Hampshire averages $1,000, meaning that families still need to come up with some money. “We have encountered many fam- ilies that need help even with that small amount. Our foundation will help fill that need,” Phaneuf said. Published Monthly by: Nomis Publications, Inc.
