Saying goodbye to your precious child
Funerals for babies and children
The death of your precious child is a loss like no other. You may feel overwhelmed by the decisions you have to make at this time, and unprepared to make them. We are here to give you practical advice on what you need to do, and guide you through all the necessary formalities and arrangements. We will give you clear information about the choices you have, and help you make the decisions that are right for you.
Here to support you
You will need to decide on burial or cremation and whether you would prefer a religious or non-religious ceremony. You may wish to choose some music, and there are many beautiful readings and poems which are suitable for children.
The natural beauty of flowers helps to soften the occasion; and releasing a white dove symbolises perfect peace.
Our experienced team will support you through this difficult time, and you and your precious child will be given our personal attention and care leading up to the funeral. On the day, we will be there to make sure your wishes are carried out with dignity, and to provide calm reassurance and quiet strength to help you and your family cope with the ceremony. We understand that grieving does not end on the day of the funeral, and in the days and months afterwards we will continue to support you through your bereavement.

In recent years, releasing doves following a funeral ceremony has become more popular. It can give families a real sense of peace and help them move on to the next phase of their life together. To find out more, simply talk to your funeral arranger and they will be happy to help.
