What is the Children’s Funeral Fund (CFF)?
Bereaved parents will be comforted to know that the Children’s Funeral Fund (CFF), or Martin’s fund as it is also know, have acknowledged that the Modern Round Barrow is an important choice for families who have suffered the loss of a child, and will fund the cost of a niche, niche cover, and urn,* for all deceased children (including babies stillborn after 24 weeks of pregnancy). The fund can be applied for by the bereaved family, or by us, here at Mid-England Barrow on the family’s behalf. Please contact us for more details.
Sarah, owner of Mid-England Barrow said ‘the Barrow offers a unique place for cremation ashes for everyone, but particularly when children are involved, either because they are the deceased, or if a child has lost someone close to them. The ashes can be visited whenever the family wish, so that they can really feel connected to and close to the life lost.’
Niches can be sealed, or created so that the urn can be seen, touched or removed when the family visit. The Barrow is a very calm, tranquil place, it’s not gloomy or sad, and people come feeling relaxed and at peace in the heart of the English countryside.
* The fund is not means tested, but requires documentation to be completed in order to apply for the funding. The funding will be paid for children under the age of 18 years.
Do you have ashes already stored?
A number of families have ashes stored at crematoriums or with funeral directors, or at home, simply because they have never found that perfect location for their loved ones ashes to be placed.
Ashes can be placed at Mid-England Barrow with or without ceremony, with or without family and friends attending. Simply contact us, choose your niche, discuss your individual niche cover, designed to best suit the person whose life has been lost, and come along at a time to suit you, to give your loved one the final resting place they deserve.
