AJ Lock Weston-Super-Mare & Worle - Under 16 Funeral service 

Our Under 16s Funeral Service provides a standard, traditional funeral service for any child under 16, providing care and dignity to your loved one. At AJ Lock Caring Funerals, we waive our service fees (many of our third-party suppliers do the same) for the funeral of any child. The service we provide for any Under 16s funeral is the same as our Traditional Funeral.

The cost of a funeral service is typically broken down into two parts: funeral director fees and third-party costs (sometimes referred to as disbursements).

Our caring and knowledgeable staff members are available to you and your family 24 hours a day. We will make all of the necessary arrangements and pay all third-party fees on your behalf. We will prepare, collect and distribute all of the documents required for the funeral to legally proceed. We will remain available after the funeral for any aftercare, advice and guidance you need.

Our staff are available by appointment 24 hours a day (including evenings and weekends). The appointment can take place either here at our funeral home or in the comfort of your own home.

We will bring your loved one into our care within an hour (once the doctor's paperwork has been completed) 24 hours a day. The person who has passed away will be treated with the utmost care, respect and dignity throughout. They will always rest in peace within a specific area set aside within our funeral home to ensure an appropriate environment.

We will wash, prepare and dress your loved one according to your wishes. We will dress them in their own clothes if provided or we can provide a funeral gown (available in various colours). We will follow your instructions regarding presentation of your loved one; our staff is able to style hair and apply makeup where appropriate. We will take great care of any personal effects.

Family and friends are welcome to visit their loved one at our on-site Private Chapel of Rest. We do not charge for chapel visits and there are no restrictions on time or duration of a visit. However, during our busier times, we may have to allocate a time slot.

We will provide our own traditional chauffeur driven hearse to convey the person who has passed away to the place of committal.

Included within our Traditional and Under 16s funeral packages, we provide up to two chauffeur driven cars to take the family to the service, wake and back home if requested.

We have a wide range of coffins available.

Please Note: A coffin is not included in our Under 16s funeral and is classed as a disbursement - starting from £20.00.

The coffin will be transported in our hearse to the local crematorium or cemetery and will be accompanied by the funeral director. When at the place of committal, the coffin will be taken from the hearse by the appropriate number of bearers and will be brought into the chapel by the funeral director. Music chosen by you will be played on entry to the chapel or church. The bearers and funeral director will bow in respect to your loved one and then leave the chapel. The service as arranged with you will then proceed.

Care of The Cremated Remains (Where Applicable)

The crematorium will provide a simple container for the cremated remains. Cremated remains can be scattered at the crematorium Garden of Rest, can be collected by a nominated member of the family or can be collected by us on your behalf and held on our premises until you have decided where you would like your loved one’s final resting place to be.

We have no control over the external costs and they are subject to change.
