APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Please note that this application form should only be filled in by a professional who has knowledge of the bereaved family and their circumstances. This could include: Funeral Directors, Celebrant or Faith representatives, Bereavement Nurses or Midwives, Hospice Managers, General Practitioners, Local Authority Registrars, Hospital Bereavement Officers, Hospital Medical Registrars etc.
We would remind you that our aim is to enable families in financial hardship to provide a simple, dignified funeral, and basic commemorative items, for their children. (As listed on this page.)
The trustees cannot consider applications for a burial plot, horse drawn carriages, flowers ordered elsewhere, balloons, doves, headstones, or expenses for a wake or gathering following the funeral.
As such, we will not be able to provide or fund any items where items such as those above have been purchased for the funeral. For example, we would not provide our floral tribute where a family had ordered a horse drawn hearse.
A copy of the funeral invoice may be requested, in lieu of the above.
Please note – We are unable to take applications from family members.
