Children's Books About Death (Religiously Neutral)

A Listmania! list by S. Davies (Pinetop, AZ, USA)
(REAL NAME)   
The list author says: "No matter what your religion, death is hard to explain to children. Not being affiliated with a particular religion, I sought books that explained death in a fairly neutral manner, or at least in a manner that was comforting to me. Upon the death of a close family member I found these books to be helpful for my children. Our views of death are so intensely personal and varied that these books may or may not work for you. Hopefully they will at least provide you with a starting point."
1.  Lifetimes by Bryan Mellonie
The list author says:
  "The most factual of all these books.  Explains death as a biological process shared by all living creatures.  First page:  "There is a beginning and an ending for everything that is alive.  In between is living.""
