About HHARP

HHARP, or Helping Hand Asset Relief Program, is a Memphis-based non-profit dedicated to supporting families during difficult times of loss. Understanding the financial and emotional strain that follows the death of a loved one, HHARP provides a range of free services to help families navigate the complexities of funeral arrangements and end-of-life planning, although they do not offer direct financial assistance.

Through financial literacy workshops, obituary assistance, funeral planning consultation, life insurance guidance, and even providing urns for cremation, HHARP stands as a pillar of compassion and support within the Memphis community, uniting those in grief and empowering them to face the future with strength and resilience.

"Your help is instrumental in providing families access to the resources they need during their time of grief"

Our Mission

"Compassionately guiding families through their most difficult times by providing access to valuable resources that alleviate the financial burdens associated with end-of-life services.

Our commitment is to support bereaved families with dignity, empowering them to honor their loved ones without the added stress of unmanageable costs."
