Planning your baby’s funeral or memorial service is something no parent ever expects to face. Just as we carefully plan other important life events, it is important to take the time you need to create a service that feels right for you and your family. This is your opportunity to honor your baby in a way that is meaningful, so that years from now, you can look back without regret.
While traditional funerals are often held within days or a week of a person’s passing, please know that there is no required timetable for your baby’s service. If you feel ready to hold the service within a week, that is perfectly fine. If you need time for the initial shock to settle and prefer to plan the service a few weeks later, that is equally valid.
The Haven Network staff is here to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you plan your baby’s service in partnership with the funeral home you have chosen. The following pages include resources, links, and ideas that you may find helpful in planning a funeral or memorial that truly honors your little one.
