Creating Memorials: Ways to Honor a Lost Infant
Honoring a lost infant through memorials can provide a sense of peace and help keep their memory alive. Here are some meaningful ways to create tributes.
Donate a Cenotaph Cradle to the hospital in the baby's name.
Too many families deal with this immense loss, and having a Cenotaph Cradle at the hospital extends the time grieving families can stay with their infant. We have placed cradles in many hospitals and are honored and privileged to offer a way to comfort when time is so short. Contact us here for more information.
