counsellor for undertakers?

I'm trying to find a phone number for an association that looks after the mental health of undertakers. I know someone who is an undertaker who is badly affected by the terrible sights he sees and the grief he witnesses nearly every day. Policemen have counselling for the things they see, but the undertakers have to clear up the body and "mess" when the police leave the scene. (Also now, ambulance drivers don't take bodies from accidents either). When I google, I can only find counselling services for undertakers' clients, and not for the undertakers themselves. Can anyone help?

I am an undertaker and can assure you she is correct, undertakers do deal with a lot of the mess. Ambulances no longer transport bodies to the hospital, we have even had to pick one up from the back of an ambulance. Most police will not touch a body. NAFD is the best bet if your not already in touch.
