The death of a child or a baby at any stage of its development will have a devastating effect on people and families. Everyone is different and will have different needs if this happens to them. It’s good to take time to think of what you need, you can come in to talk to us about what’s possible and we can put a plan together. We can support you in whatever way you choose, you may want just a quiet intimate time or you may want to share this experience with a lot of people, please don’t feel you have to do anything in particular. We don’t charge our regular professional fees for children of 16 and under although we have to charge for coffins and burial ground fees if you wish for the baby or child to be buried.

There are lots of options in terms of coffins available, below is a sample of some available choices.
