Abstract
This research explored what suicide postvention might offer workplaces, using the example of a large metropolitan funeral company. Staff reported funerals due to suicide more difficult in terms of communication, engagement and emotionality. These challenges were commonly characterised by increased tension and concern. In the absence of a postvention informed approach, staff had developed individual ways to negotiate these challenges.
The introduction of bespoke postvention training delivered improvements in staff confidence with communication, understanding and management of the impact of suicide and awareness of support services. The benefits of the training could be extended through postvention informed governance and supports.
