Adrian Moore Funerals

Losing a child is unimaginable, and the last thing any parent should have to worry about is whether they can take time away from work.

In the UK, eligible employees have a legal right to two weeks of parental bereavement leave if their child dies before the age of 18, or following a stillbirth after 24 weeks of pregnancy.

This is known as Jack's Law.

The leave can be taken as two consecutive weeks or two separate weeks, at any point within 56 weeks of the bereavement.

Importantly, the right to leave applies from the first day of employment, although entitlement to statutory bereavement pay depends on separate eligibility criteria.

At Adrian Moore Funerals, we believe families should have access to clear, compassionate information when they need it most.

For further details, visit the government website and search "Jack's Law".

“But Dad would have wanted us all wearing Hawaiian shirts…”

Then why not?

When arranging a funeral, families sometimes hesitate over ideas that feel a little unconventional, even when they know it's exactly what their loved one would have wanted.

Perhaps it means wearing bright colours instead of black, playing a favourite song, or finishing a tribute with a joke that always made everyone laugh.

And sometimes, when the moment feels right, it might even mean a round of applause!

It's natural to feel that at such a serious time, certain rules are made to be followed. But a funeral doesn't have to look or sound a particular way.

If you find yourself thinking, “Well, if Mum or Dad had their way…” perhaps that's a good place to start!

At Adrian Moore Funerals, we're here to help families create a farewell that reflects the person they've lost, while also feeling right for those saying goodbye.

It means a great deal to know that a family felt supported and well cared for throughout the arrangements.

Thank you for these lovely words, and for trusting Adrian Moore Funerals to help your family. 💚

Most people arrange very few funerals during their lifetime, so it is completely understandable not to know where to begin.

You don’t need to arrive with every decision made. It can be helpful to know whether the person expressed any wishes about burial or cremation, the kind of service they might have wanted and who should be involved—but it is also perfectly all right not to know yet.

Our role is to explain the choices clearly, answer your questions and help you make each decision in manageable steps.

You bring what you know about the person. We will help you with the rest. 💚

Tonight at 7pm, candles will be lit around the world as part of the global Wave of Light, marking the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

Each flame represents a baby remembered, a love that continues and a family whose loss matters.

We join families everywhere in remembering every baby who died during pregnancy, at birth or in infancy.

If you would like to take part, simply light a candle at 7pm and let your light join the wave. 💚

This week is Baby Loss Awareness Week.

When a baby or child dies, families are faced with decisions they never expected to make. One practical thing parents may not know is that financial help is available through the Children’s Funeral Fund for England.

The fund can help pay burial or cremation fees and up to £300 towards a coffin, shroud or casket for a child under 18, or a baby stillborn after the 24th week of pregnancy.

It is not means-tested. When a funeral director is involved, they can usually make the relevant claims on the family’s behalf.

At an unimaginably difficult time, families should not have to search for this information alone. Part of our role is to explain what help is available and guide them gently through each step. 💚
