Comforting Memorial Options for Infant Loss
Losing a baby, during pregnancy or after birth, is a sorrow no family should have to face. The pain is quiet and lasting. It often lives in moments and memories that feel invisible to others. At McCall Monument, we understand how important it is to honor these brief but meaningful lives with care and respect.
October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. It is a time to remember the little ones who are no longer with us and to support the families who carry their memory each day. Memorials can be a gentle way to create space for remembrance, reflection, and love.
Small Memorial Stones
Some families choose a flat marker or infant-sized upright stone. These can be placed in a cemetery or a private garden. Each one is crafted with quiet dignity and care.
Symbols of Innocence and Love
Common choices include:
Angels or cherubs
Teddy bears or toys
Flowers like lilies or forget-me-nots
Footprints or hearts
These symbols reflect love, purity, and the memory of a life that touched many, even in a short time.
Meaningful Inscriptions
Many families include:
Short phrases like “Forever in our hearts” or “Our little angel”
A birth or loss date
A personal or faith-based message
Each inscription is personal. We work closely with families to choose words that feel right.
Memory Benches or Garden Stones
Some families choose a bench or stone for a quiet space at home. These can be placed under a tree, in a backyard, or a special corner of the garden. Names, dates, or artwork can be added.
Ceramic Photos and Custom Art
Personal touches might include an ultrasound image, a soft drawing, or a tiny handprint. These details can be included as ceramic photos or custom engravings.
Ongoing Support
This type of loss is tender and deeply personal. We meet each family with patience and compassion. Our role is not only to create a memorial, but also to listen, guide, and help in a way that honors your child’s memory.
