The grief of losing a baby is crushing. It’s more than a death of life, it is a death of expectations, of the story you started for your family and your future.
At Windsor Funerals, we believe every life has value – no matter how brief.
We partner with local midwives and hospitals in Auckland to provide free care for babies and their families. This service covers transportation of the baby, necessary paperwork, and cremation costs, ensuring compassionate and seamless support for families navigating the loss of an infant.
Infant Cremation Options
Another important service we offer is infant cremation. We are always respectful and gentle with the baby. We recognise families may not wish to be present during cremation but offer all of the options available, gently explaining our process every step of the way.
We provide flax urns for the infants and their families as a special memorial of their story. These are handmade with utmost care and often we make them ourselves. In addition to funeral services, we can carefully package precious mementoes like provided clothing or a lock of hair if possible, to remember and cherish your baby. We firmly believe these small gestures help families process grief and provide comfort.
Free and Reduced Funeral Services for Babies in Auckland
We offer this as a free service, at no profit to us, because we believe finances should not be a barrier to proper care and support. This is a commitment we make to honouring lives, no matter how brief. Our community deserves this deeply meaningful service.
We offer caskets at cost, although often a family may choose to make their own or use the one provided by the hospital. Cemeteries often have a small charge for plot and burial fee, but we offer our time as we assist in plot selection.
In cases where parents voluntarily chose not to continue a pregnancy, we encourage parents to check out the Buttons Project following our care. They provide mental, emotional, and spiritual healing to any person who has been affected, whether that be the mother, father or other persons. They give people a chance to honour the life carried, even for a short time.
