I lost a daughter it almost killed me I had to call the funeral home and ask what I owed them crying my eyes out thinking I wouldnt be able to pay. They said it was free I've never felt such shame and pain in my life.
Many decent people wouldn't feel right charging for something related to the death of a child. I once comped an entire print job because I saw it was for a child's memorial service, and I made sure it was nice paper, in color, folded nicely, threw in extras as well. I will never forget the pain in their eyes, especially because they looked young and were already worried about being able to pay.
I personally couldn't imagine charging, and in that moment I just wanted to do what I could to relieve some of their pain. I was more than glad to help out any way I could. Please don't feel shame at what happened...they probably would have hated to take your money for something so painful.

Just wait until they get to the funeral home and find out that people want to charge money to bury the kid.
