A Babies Remembrance Service will be held at 11.30am on Sunday (25 June) at the Wenallt Chapel in Thornhill Cemetery.
The memorial service is supported by the Stillbirth and Neonatal Deaths Society (Sands) and will be led by members of the University Hospital of Wales chaplaincy team.
During the service there will be an opportunity for families to place a memory pebble in the memory bowl.
Everyone is welcome to attend, and members of the Cardiff branch of Sands will be available at the service, at Thornhill Cemetery, Thornhill Rd, CF14 9UA.
Families in Cardiff who have lost a baby also have access to a unique ‘Dear Mum’ garden in Western Cemetery. Based around the story of a young mouse called Dora who wishes she could tell her mother how much she misses her, the ‘Dear Mum’ sculpture garden is designed to help young children cope with the loss of a loved one and provide a place of remembrance for parents who have lost a baby.
For further information about the service or the ‘Dear Mum’ garden, you can contact a member of Cardiff Council’s bereavement services staff on 029 2054 4820.
