WHAT TO DO WHEN DEATH OCCURS
When An Infant Or Child Dies


Unpleasant as this loss is, being entrusted to act for families in this situation is simply an honour. That we can assist you in your loss and bring some form of 'closure' or help advise and enable the many support mechanisms, is a worthy position to be in.
Our calm approach and empathy are borne of this entrustment and whilst not relished, we do believe we are as able as anybody to help you at this time of need.The attending doctor, locum, Community Nurse or medical practitioner will provide more information regarding this subject.
Traditional, conventional funeral services
Without a doubt, one of the worst experiences imaginable is the loss of a child. Pre-deceasing a parent is unthinkable and the effects are many and complicated.
The unfortunate event can lead to the instability of those affected and whilst professional help is available, it is also considered, essential.
We, at Shoobridge Funeral Services, have personal experience of this event. We have noted the effects on parents and siblings and have various experiences in our working life from Stillbirths, to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (Cot Death).

Discretion is one of our fundamental principles.
Arranging a funeral for an infant attracts variations to 'normal' procedures. We are aware of the differences and accommodate the wishes of the family as our priority. When a child dies, we also understand how this can be even more difficult, especially for parents, which is why our friendly team of individuals are here to help you through the whole process.
Please consider calling a relative or friend who may be able to stay with you and offer their support during these initial stages.
