Children’s Funerals

We always recommend contacting one of our branches to speak directly with one of our experienced funeral arrangers. However, we understand that, at this deeply difficult time, it may be easier for you to explore our website or funeral guide at your own pace.

Please know that we are here to support you with compassion and care every step of the way. Our commitment is to gently guide you through this unimaginable time and ensure the very best for your precious child.

Below, you’ll find our recommendations for children’s funeral services.

Baby & Infant Funerals

Losing a baby or infant is a heartbreak that no words can truly reach. We’re here to support with care, compassion, love and understanding – in whatever way feels right for parents and families that may have experienced this loss.

It’s a small way we hope to bring comfort in a time of deep sorrow.
If you or someone you love has been affected by the loss of a baby or child, please know our thoughts are with you.

Charities such as Sands, The Lullaby Trust, and Child Bereavement UK offer gentle, ongoing support, and we are here too, whenever you need us.

Funeral Services for a Child Under 18

We understand how incredibly difficult it is to arrange a funeral for a child. To support families during this time, we provide the following services free of charge.

– Bringing your child into our care and use of our Chapel of Rest
– A suitable coffin
– A suitable funeral vehicle for the coffin, meeting at the committal location or one of our branches
– A celebrant or minister to conduct the service

If you would like any additional services or arrangements, your Funeral Arranger will be happy to discuss these with you and provide details of any associated costs.

Childrens Funeral Fund (CFF)

The Children’s Funeral Fund is a government scheme that can help with certain funeral costs for a child who was under the age of 18 at the time of their death, or a baby who was stillborn after the 24th week of pregnancy.

The fund can help cover eligible fees associated with the burial or cremation.
