Guidelines for the Children Funeral Fund

The Children Funeral Fund came into force on 23^rd July 2019 and covers funerals for children up to the age of 18.

Funeral directors in England may claim for a coffin up to £300 and the grave digger’s fees. Costs for the crematorium or cemetery will be collected by those organisations.
