Ages under 18
In most cases for ages under 18, the fee will be covered by The Children's Funeral Fund (CFF), and so no fee will be charged to families.
Please note that the CFF will not pay for babies under 24 weeks. They will only bear the cost for a child over 24 weeks gestation to under 18 years of age. Fees for babies under 24 weeks are listed above.
