You may be reading this and you have just suffered the death of your baby just hours or a few days ago. You may be bewildered and in shock. You may be wondering how to start organising your precious baby’s funeral. This is the last thing you thought you would have to organise after the birth of your baby. Take your time there is no rush.

This is the last thing you can do for your baby and you will want to do it right. Look at cemeteries and crematoria, think about what you want for your baby not what others think you should have.
SANDS Lothians can give you a lot of practical advice and have good contacts for lovely wicker baskets instead of coffins etc. We can help you make the right choices. Contact Jeni or Dorothy at the SANDS Lothians office.
