One Life Children’s Funerals

A personal funeral service for your child or baby.

A funeral ceremony is a time to celebrate a life that has been lived and is an opportunity to say goodbye in a way that is right for you and your family.

One Life Ceremonies will write and conduct a respectful and personal service for your child. We will take the time to meet with you to find out about their life and how you would like them to be remembered. We can also talk through ideas and possibilities for the funeral service and whether or you would like it to be completely non-religious or contain elements of religion.

You might like to include:

• Contributions and words from your child’s friends and other family members.
• Favourite or significant poems, stories and readings.
• Religious readings and music if you wish.
• The music of your choice.

Some other ideas for a child’s funeral service:

• You can a theme for the service, if your child had a particular interest or hobby.
• You might like to include a meaningful and symbolic action such as lighting candles, releasing balloons or blowing bubbles.
• You can ask other children coming along to draw or write something for or about your child (these can be kept in a memory box or book).

The service will be conducted by Maria at the location of your choice (this can be held separately to the burial or cremation).
