To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether the Government has plans to introduce a children's funeral fund.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether the Government has plans to introduce a children's funeral fund.
The Government is committed to ensuring that all families who lose a child are given the support they need. We already have the Social Fund Funeral Expenses Payment scheme to support eligible bereaved families in need of financial support, and I am leading a piece of work across government to:
- support Kevin Hollinrake’s Private Members’ Bill, to introduce Parental Bereavement (Leave and Pay) for parents who lose a child under the age of 18;
- introduce a shorter application form for claims relating to children’s funerals from the Social Fund Funeral Expenses Payment scheme, making it easier for bereaved parents to apply for financial support; and
- bring together information and support from across Government and more widely so it is easily accessible to bereaved parents.
Motion that this House has considered local authority funeral charges. Agreed to on question.

The Ministry of Justice has not led on operational policy relating to burial and cremation and, therefore, we have not collected information on this issue to date.
