Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi llofnodi Memorandwm Cyd\-ddealltwriaeth gyda llywodraeth leol i roi'r gorau i godi tâl am gladdu plant, gan sicrhau ffordd o weithredu sy’n glir, yn deg ac yn gyson ar draws Cymru.

I helpu awdurdodau lleol i wneud y cam hwn, mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn darparu £1\.5 miliwn rhwng nawr ac 2020\. Bydd y cyllid hwn hefyd ar gael i ddarparwyr mynwentydd ac amlosgfeydd yng Nghymru, sy'n cytuno i beidio â chodi tâl dan yr amgylchiadau hyn.

Daw'r Memorandwm Cyd\-ddealltwriaeth i rym ar unwaith, ac mae'r Prif Weinidog yn annog cynghorau i roi'r cytundeb ar waith cyn gynted â phosibl.

Yn ôl y Prif Weinidog:


> "Rhaid inni wneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i gefnogi teuluoedd sydd wedi colli plentyn. Rwy'n falch ein bod yn gallu gweithio gydag awdurdodau lleol i leddfu rhywfaint o'r pwysau sydd ar ysgwyddau rhieni sy'n galaru yn ystod cyfnod hynod dorcalonnus.
> 
> "Bydd y cyhoeddiad heddiw hefyd yn rhoi diwedd ar yr annhegwch a achosir wrth godi gwahanol ffioedd ar draws Cymru, ac rwy'n ddiolchgar i Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru ac Un Llais Cymru am eu cefnogaeth."

Dywedodd Mr Lyn Cadwallader, Prif Weithredwr Un Llais Cymru


> "Rydyn ni wedi cydweithio â Llywodraeth Cymru a Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru i weithredu'r polisi pwysig hwn gan y Llywodraeth \- pan gynhalion ni arolwg gyda'r sector cynghorau tref a chymuned, cafwyd cefnogaeth enfawr i ddileu ffioedd am gladdu plant.
> 
> "Mae'n anodd dychmygu pa mor anodd ydyw i deuluoedd sy'n galaru i ymdopi ag amgylchiadau mor drist. Gobeithio y bydd y newid hwn yn lleddfu unrhyw bwysau diangen, ac yn helpu rhywfaint ar y teuluoedd hynny sy'n galaru."

Dywedodd Arweinydd Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru, y Cynghorydd Debbie Wilcox:


> “Mae llywodraeth leol yn falch iawn o allu helpu i gefnogi teuluoedd sy’n mynd drwy gyfnod anoddaf eu bywydau. Mae colli plentyn yn brofiad dirdynnol ac yn drawma y bydd y teuluoedd yn byw gydag ef am weddill eu hoes. Ry’n ni’n falch o allu gweithio gyda Llywodraeth Cymru i sicrhau bod tegwch a chysondeb ym mhob rhan o Gymru yn hyn o beth.”

The Welsh Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with local government to stop charging for the burial of children, ensuring there is a clear, fair and consistent approach across Wales.


To support local authorities in making this step, the Welsh Government is making up to £1\.5 million available between now and 2020\. This funding will also be available to all other providers of cemeteries and crematoria in Wales who agree not to charge on the same basis.


The MOU comes into force with immediate effect and the First Minister is urging councils to ratify the agreement as soon as possible.


The First Minister said:



> “We must do all we can to support families who have lost a child. I am pleased we are able to work with local authorities to take away just one of the stresses and strains on the shoulders of grieving parents during a hugely distressing time.
> 
> 
> “Today’s commitment will also end the unfairness caused by charging different fees across Wales and I am grateful to the WLGA and One Voice Wales for their support.”


Mr Lyn Cadwallader, Chief Executive of One Voice Wales said:



> “We have worked in collaboration with Welsh Government and WLGA colleagues in implementing this important government policy – when we surveyed the community and town council sector there was overwhelming support to scrap child burial fees.
> 
> 
> “It is hard to comprehend how difficult it must be for grieving families to cope with this tragic circumstance. The introduction of this approach will take away any unnecessary stress and help to ease the pain of grieving families.”


Councillor Debbie Wilcox, WLGA Leader said:



> “Local government is very pleased to be able to help to support families who are going through the most difficult period in their lives. Losing a child is a harrowing experience and a trauma that will stay with families throughout their lives. We are pleased to be working with Welsh Government to ensure that there is fairness and consistency in this regard in all areas of Wales.”
