Explaining funerals to children: what happens at a cremation?

Funerals can be a challenging subject that many people find difficult to talk about. This short animated film aims to explain in a clear and honest way what happens at a cremation to help answer some of your child's questions and allay any concerns they may have so they are more prepared for what will happen on the day.

If you need further guidance around explaining funerals to a child, our Helpline is here to take calls and respond to Live Chat, 9am-5pm Monday-Friday.

Grieving for a child of any age

The agony of losing a child of any age is unparalleled. There is no age or point in time that makes it any easier. No parent expects to face the death of their child and no grandparent expects to lose their grandchild.
When a grandparent dies

The death of a grandparent is often a child or young person’s first encounter with the death of someone important. Parents have a great deal to manage when their own parent or carer dies. There is the grief associated with their own loss, but also the reactions and responses of their children to the death of a grandparent.
