“children of Bahá'í parents… before they are fifteen years old, are regarded as Bahá'ís” - December 1975

Both children of Bahá'í parents, and children who, with their non-Baha'i parents' consent, declare their faith in Bahá'u'lláh before they are fifteen years old, are regarded as Bahá'ís and it is within a Spiritual Assembly's discretion to request such children to undertake work of which they are capable in the service of the Faith, such as service on suitable committees.

Law of burial - 3 December 1975

As the law of burial, the Universal House of Justice suggest that you confine your statement to the following parts of this law which are now binding on the believers in the West:

(1) That must be buried, not cremated.

(2) That the prayer for the dead is to be recited for a believer of the age of 15 years or over. This, as you know, is the prayers which appears as number CLXVII in Prayers and Meditations by Bahá'u'lláh.

(3) That the body not be transported more than one hour's journey from the place of death. The method of transport is not specified, but the journey must not take longer than one hour.
