FUNERAL PLAY SET – BUILDING BLOCKS

Product description

Children between 4 and 10 years old don’t understand death through words. Their brains think concretely. A concept like “cremation” or “burial” means nothing without a visual, tangible representation.

This building block set was developed as a professional conversation tool: you explain what happens at death, during the funeral, and at the farewell — step by step, using physical blocks. No metaphors. No euphemisms. Just: this is what happens.

The result: children understand. And professionals lead the conversation with confidence.

Who it’s for Funeral professionals, grief counselors, hospice workers, palliative care providers — anyone who has conversations with children around death in their professional practice.

How you use it With the set you build through four core protocols: the basic method (death and funeral), the palliative phase (preparation), cremation, and burial. The blocks follow the logical sequence a child can follow and make sense of.

Developed by Richard Hattink, grief counselor and funeral director with 25 years of experience supporting children and families around death. The method is evidence-based and applied internationally.

Want to learn the method step by step? The video series Funeral Play in Practice (8 episodes, including 4 downloadable protocols) teaches you exactly how to use the set — including complex situations such as suicide or the death of a child. Available through the Academy.
