Families of fatal overdose victims need resources to bury their loved ones

As crucial as investments like prevention and recovery are, the cost of
overdose deaths should not be overlooked

When a family loses a loved one to opioids, who helps pay for burial services?

When a family loses someone to drug overdose, they’re often left to pick up the financial costs – including for funerals and burials. Now, advocates in Massachusetts are calling on the state to help.
