 Explaining Cremation to a child - BobbyG
7 year old child's grandpa has died who he doted on and was very close to.

Child has seen cemeterys before and understands thats where people are buried when they die.

Anyone any experience or tips on how to explain cremation? He wont be going to the actual crematorium but will be going to the church service beforehand. His mother wants to be as honest as possible about things to him but not quite sure how she explains his grandpa will be getting burnt!
