read moreDiscussing death and cremation is a sensitive subject for people of any age. If you are a parent or guardian, however, you might wonder how to talk to a child about these topics. If your loved one's final wishes included being cremated, it is normal for a child to want to know more about what that means. Some of these suggestions should help you discuss the topic. Try to avoid using big words that might be difficult for a child to understand. Explain only the information the child requests. It is advisable to avoid using explicit words, including fire or burned, because the image is not something the child should associate with a beloved absent member of the family.
