Funerals for babies and children

For a special goodbye

Families have unique needs when experiencing the loss of a pregnancy, a termination, a still birth or the death of a baby or child.

Most hospitals and some funeral directors will arrange a simple funeral for no charge, but for families looking for something else, for whatever reason, we're able to offer the opportunity to create something really thoughtful, special and meaningful.

Encouraging you to participate as much or as little as you wish, we offer a specialist service that can help you to create the funeral you want and need to acknowledge the nature of your loss.

Supported by our specialist team, we can offer you as much guidance as you need. We’ll give you the time you need to explore the options open to you.

We can help you to spend time with your child or baby in a homely, peaceful and beautiful space. We can even help you to take them home, if that’s important to you.

We have handpicked the best in gentle, well-crafted and ethically sourced and produced coffins for babies and small children. Please see our coffins page for options.

Please note that due to the highly specialist and involved nature of the service we provide, we have to charge for our work. You may also wish to talk to other funeral directors with a different approach to ensure you make the decision that’s right for you.

Support is available from the Children’s Funeral Fund, which can help to pay for some of the costs of a funeral for a child under 18 or a baby stillborn after the 24th week of pregnancy. It is not means-tested: what you earn or how much you have in savings will not affect the help available.
