Can a miscarried baby be buried?

[CarefullyAirbrushedPotato]

Does anyone know how to go about arranging such a thing?
I haven't been in hospital, my midwife attended us at home.

I'm sorry it's such a miserable topic but I can't bear the thought of baby being 'disposed of'

How many weeks were you? And sorry to ask this but where is your baby now?

My 19 week baby was cremated at the crematorium. I have her ashes in a little box.
The hospital arranged it for us.

Sorry if I was unclear there is no hospital to ring. I mean I could pick a random one out of a phone book, but I think that's likely to be more stress than it's worth.

Our local crematorium says they'll take him if I sort it out with a funeral directors. So maybe that's what we'll do.
He won't be safe in the garden, too many cats and foxes.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Carefully.

I am so sorry for your loss Carefully. With ours I lost the baby at home, but managed to catch the sac and baby in a sieve. We took ours to a local funeral directors who organised the appropriate paperwork and a cremation for us. I think we had the option of burying the baby too if we had wanted to. We knew this was going to happen as we had had a scan which showed the babys heart had stopped. At the hospital they had given me options for medical or surgical management and that they could keep the baby and organise for baby to be put into a mass cremation with other lost babies at a local crematorium. They then have a service and scatter the ashes in the baby garden at the crem, which you can attend. Babies are never just disposed of, but if you want something individual you have to organise it yourself. Our funeral director was lovely, very compassionate and sorted things out quickly, explained everything etc. He even recommended that we don't use our most local crem, but go to one in the next city as they use a slightly different procedure which gives you more chance of getting ashes back from such a small baby.

I hope this helps.

I'm sorry for your loss xx

I caught the sac when I miscarried at 10 weeks. As soon as I caught it I knew I couldn't just drop it into the toilet. We were moving from a rented house so we froze it in a sealed container and buried it in the garden in our new house. We planted an apple tree on top. Really sorry for your loss, and sorry if my story is a bit morbid. Do whatever you need to do.
