Ladies who have had a MMC and passed the baby naturally, what did you do with it?

Hi everyone.

Sorry if this isn't the best place to post this.
Realised I'm having a missed miscarriage at a scan on Wednesday. Waiting to pass the sac/baby naturally and hoping it will be in tact so that I can see it. I absolutely can't stand the idea of flushing it away, and I don't want to bury it in the garden as I'm moving from my home soon and don't want to leave it behind. I've thought about a burial somewhere I go that feels special, but then can't stand the thought of it being out there alone, which I know might seem silly but I just can't. I'd like to decide before I start bleeding as the fact I'm uncertain is causing me to worry.

I wondered if any ladies who have sadly gone through a MMC would mind sharing what they chose to do with their baby to maybe give me some ideas.

Thank you so much in advance x
I am in the UK in case that is relevant.

Just to warn you - I've had 4 mcs between 7 and 11 weeks and wasn't able to spot the sac at any point (even though scans showed that the sac was the correct gestational size, it was just empty).
