Emotional death care includes grief counseling, group therapy, and other individual approaches to easing the emotional burdens of death, dying, and grief.

Logistical death care is the process of providing options - hospice care resources, funeral and burial choices, and other education about the rights and choices open to those in dying or mourning.

Social death care is the act of advocating for social and economic equity within the sphere of grief and death care such as advocating for policy to guarantee paid bereavement leave to all workers, the breaking of funeral home monopolies, or a path towards medical debt relief.
