Fund graves for babies regardless of gestational age

Petition Details

If a baby dies before the 24th week of pregnancy and the parents choose to have a burial they are charged fees by local councils for the baby's grave. These fees vary widely from £150 to £1,000 plus.

Additional Information

However, if a baby dies after 24 weeks of gestation the costs of burial or cremation are covered through the Children’s Funeral Fund for England. We ask that the Government extend this already existing Fund to provide for parents who wish to bury their child of under 24 weeks gestation, or have an individual cremation.
