When a child has died

The loss of a child cannot be put into words. When the one who is dearest to us of all is gone, ordinary life falls apart. Life can feel impossible to face, and it is hard to take in what has happened.

We have a great deal of experience of meeting people going through this difficult time. Everyone handles and responds to grief differently. Our task is to support, to listen and to help, and to try to answer the questions, large and small.

What will we need to decide on?

These are things that come up in time. You do not need to prepare them. The list is here only so that nothing comes as a surprise.

• The date of the funeral
• Burial or cremation
• The burial plot
• A church funeral or a non-religious funeral
• The death notice
• Coffin or urn
• The coffin arrangement and the text on the ribbon
• A hand bouquet and other flowers
• A soloist, the music and the order of service

You choose and shape the funeral according to your wishes. We guide you through each point and stay beside you in the decisions.

Where can we read more?

The booklet Att förlora ett barn, on losing a child, has more to read, calmly and at home. It is written in Swedish.
