Making Memories

The grieving process can be very difficult and finding a way to commemorate your baby’s death may help. For many families, creating memories and keepsakes can be important to remember their baby. Many of the families we support often tell us how significant it was to have keepsakes, especially to share with friends, family and children for many years to come. Our staff will support you in making decisions about making memories that are right for you.

Families have found the following helpful:

  • A naming/blessing ceremony
  • Photographs
  • A lock of hair
  • Hand and foot prints
  • Hand and food castings (for babies over 22weeks gestation)
  • Keeping name bands and the cord clamp
  • Memorial Book
