Altought Shinigami no ballad has less episodes it still looks like shigofumi. Both have girls who work for the afterlife and in shigofumi they have an staff and SNB has a cat. Every episode is a diffrent story in both anime.
Did you like Shigofumi? Well, Shinigami no Ballad has a similar theme, however, it's a step before something the Shigofumi's would be sent. Both Momo and Fumika have similar attitudes, and there's also a cool sidekick! Daniel and Kanaka!
The main chracter of Shigofumi, Fumika looks and have similar characteristics to Momo of Shinigami no Ballad (i.e. white hair and an unemotional voice). They also have colourful assistants in Kanaka and Daniel, respectively. Furthermore, both anime deals with death and about the people that are (or will be) left behind. However, Shinigami no Ballad is a lighter series than Shigofumi.
Both involve supernatural girls and a non human partner observing and sometimes interfering with the lives of others, especially the surviving friends/family of the recently departed.

Both anime are about beings from the world of the dead interacting with the living: in Shigofumi we have a girl delivering a letter from a dead person, in Shinigami no Ballad we have a girl tasked with taking the dead people to the afterworld, but usually she also helps them straight things out before their departure or even watch over living in the dead's person stead.
It should be noted, that Shinigami no Ballad is only a collection of unconnected stories (with the exception of main heroine) unlike the Shigofumi.
Similar premises, about a girl and her talking pet/staff helping people to come to terms with death and their regrets. Each episodes focuses on a different story with a different group of characters, with their own problems and internal conflicts, and the stories usually play out in a similar way in both shows. The art is also very alike, with realistic colors and character designs, which really adds to their dark and melancholic tone.
