The statehouse has approved state funding for children's funerals.
The nonprofit group Sing Me To Heaven supports low-income families who cannot afford to bury their children.
Lawmakers have adopted an amendment that gives this organization $100,000 to offer support to families to have lost children.
The Department of Public Health would administer the money. Eligible families could receive $2,000 for funeral expenses after a child's death.
