The fund can help to pay for some of the costs of a funeral for a child under 18 or a baby stillborn after the 24th week of pregnancy.

The burial or cremation must take place in England.

The Government fund will cover the following fees:

  • Burial fees
  • Cremation fees, including the cost of a doctor’s certificate
  • Coffin, shroud or casket (up to a cost of £300)
