There are many things to think about and decide when arranging a funeral, and often a budget will need to be met to suit the family’s needs. It is a difficult time for next of kin or loved ones who are dealing with loss. We will always give you a breakdown of costs as part of our invoicing and suggest ways to help you plan a perfect but affordable funeral.

Baby and Child Funeral Services
The arrangement of a funeral for a baby or child raises choices which you may feel entirely unprepared for. Dillamore will offer as much support as possible to parents following a bereavement, and as part of this commitment, the funeral service we provide for your loved one is free of charge up to the age of 16 years old.
For children’s funerals, families will need to pay for ministers/officiants fees, plus any additional products and services that are not included in our Simple Funeral Service.
In England, cremation fees (including doctors’ fees for cremation documents) and burial fees (including the cost of a burial plot) will be claimed back from the Children’s Funeral Fund for England (CFF) on the family’s behalf.
