Thank you to Rosedale Training for making this helpful film available for our website. We think it will help any young person understand funerals (burial and cremation) and decide whether to attend and what role they can play in saying goodbye to a loved one.

See also our advice article on supporting a bereaved young person for more information about the impact of bereavement on young people.

If you are supporting a young person you may be interested in purchasing a copy of 'Tough Stuff Journal: Someone has died' available through the AtaLoss.org shop. 

Highly recommended by Child Bereavement UK, the journal is designed to be used by a young person accompanied by a trusted adult - a parent or relative, youth worker, social worker or school mentor.
