memorialising an unborn baby
The loss of an unborn baby is one of the most heartbreaking experiences anyone can face. It leaves families in shock, grief, and confusion. While no amount of planning can ease the pain, there are ways to honour and commemorate the memory of your little one. Memorial services provide closure, dignity, and a way to acknowledge their short but cherished existence.

If you’ve found yourself searching for how to do this, you’re not alone. Many parents and families struggle with understanding their options after the devastating loss of a baby, whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, or other circumstances. Below, we’ll explore the most common ways of memorialising an unborn baby, focusing on respectful, compassionate, and practical options available in Singapore.

Funeral Services for Unborn and Young Children

Organising a funeral service is one of the most traditional and respectful ways to honour the life of a young child or an unborn baby. In Singapore, Angel Star service by The Life Celebrant provides professional funeral services for families facing this difficult time.

Options Available:
​
  • Miscarriages and Stillbirths: Funerals can be held for babies lost at various stages, including miscarriages, stillbirths, and very young children.
  • Bespoke Ceremonies: Each ceremony can be tailored to the family’s cultural or religious beliefs, ensuring respect for personal traditions and values.
    • Buddhist funeral services
    • Taoist funeral services
    • Christian services
    • Soka and Catholic options

These ceremonies typically last between one and two days, depending on what best suits the family. They can include rituals, prayers, and symbolic acts that create a personal farewell.

How The Life Celebrant Can Help
​

The Life Celebrant has years of experience arranging funeral services for babies and young children. They provide infant and baby caskets that are purposefully designed to honour your child with dignity and care.

Personal touches matter. Many families include items such as flowers, handwritten notes, and the child’s personal belongings inside the casket. These items are typically cremated alongside the child, symbolising the family’s final goodbyes.

Cremation Services for Your Little One

Cremation is another common way families choose to memorialise their baby. It offers a peaceful and dignified farewell while providing a way for parents to keep their child's memory close.

Steps for Cremation
​
  1. If a birth certificate is not yet obtained: You’ll need a signed memo from a medical professional confirming the circumstances.
  2. Booking with Crematorium: Family will need to book the cremation timeslot with the Crematorium. Engaging a Funeral director can help you with this process, allowing the family to focus on the grieving process instead. 
  3. Cultural customs: Many families incorporate traditional rituals or spiritual practices during this process. Angel Star can help you navigate these aspects sensitively.
  4. Options post-cremation: After the service, parents may choose to keep the ashes in a columbarium, scatter ashes in a meaningful location or retain them in a special keepsake urn.

Cremation can offer closure for grieving families. It allows them to know their little one has been treated with dignity and compassion throughout the process.

Customised Keepsakes and Memorial Options

Beyond formal funeral services, parents can consider personal, long-lasting memorial options. These items are a way to preserve the memory of your little one and create a tangible connection.

Meaningful Keepsake Options:
​
  • Memory Boxes: Include photographs, hospital bands, or small toys associated with your child. These boxes become family treasures.
  • Customised Jewellery: Some parents choose to wear necklaces, rings, or bracelets engraved with their child’s name or birth date.
  • Hand and Footprint Mementos: Prints can be preserved in shadow boxes or other formats, serving as physical reminders of the baby’s presence.
  • Personalised Stone Engravings: Memorial stones can be placed in gardens or homes as a serene reminder of their child’s memory.

These options not only help preserve the memory of your baby but also provide ongoing comfort as you heal.

Creating a Memorial Space at Home

Many families find that having a dedicated space to reflect and remember can help with the grieving process. Creating a memorial space can be therapeutic and symbolic.

Ideas for Memorial Spaces:
​
  • Garden Memorials: Plant a tree or flowers in your baby’s memory. It’s a natural, living way to honour their presence.
  • Dedication Corner: Create a space in your home with candles, photos, and items that remind you of your child.
  • Charitable Acts: Some families choose to channel their grief into meaningful acts of giving, such as donations to children’s charities.

Creating a personal space provides families with a daily reminder of their child’s memory while also offering a place for reflection, prayer, and healing.
