When A Passing Or Miscarriage Occur.
When a Miscarriage Occurs:
In the state of Nebraska you do not need to notify a funeral home of a passing if the pregnancy is less than 20 weeks gestation. If you haven’t already been in contact with an OBGYN, it is important to do so.
Experiencing a Missed Miscarriage?
We provide miscarriage kits. These kits are designed to help women through a first trimester loss. Providing info for miscarriage management, supplies, & care items for you and your baby.

Burial & Cremation Options:
Burial
You can contact your local hospital to see if they do an annual burial, these are most often burials with other miscarried babies lost throughout the year.
If you would like a private burial, it’s best to contact your local funeral home.
If you would like to bury outside of a funeral home make sure you have proper authority to do so and you may utilize a biodegradable urn in accompany with a statue or flowers to signify the babies location. Biodegradable urns may also be used in a water burial or in a flower pot if you are unsure of a permanent location.
Cremation
If you would like to have your baby cremated you will need to reach out to your local funeral home. Not all funeral homes offer this service for losses under 20 weeks so you may have to call around.
If the baby is able to be brought to the Our Little Angels location in Hastings, we work directly with funeral homes that offer fetal cremation and are able to facilitate this on your behalf.
