Baby and Child Services

The most agonising event any of us can go through is losing a child. It is challenging making decisions and choices while feeling vulnerable, so over the following days, we support and advise you as you carefully consider the options available. We also help you plan the funeral so that it reflects their personality and their brief time in the world while also providing some solace to the family during this difficult time. To create the most fitting funeral ceremony, we will collaborate with you to capture their spirit.

 

There are no fees associated with our services for the funeral of a baby or young child (0–18 years). A baby casket or coffin will be provided, along with full use of our chapels of rest (with a Moses basket to spend time with the infant) and the use of our hearse and/or limousines. If a change is desired, there may be fees outside of our control.

 

Numerous third parties, including ministers, crematoriums and cemeteries do not charge for infant and child funerals. If there are any expenses, we will let you know right away.

​
