Memorial service for children and babies

A memorial service for babies and children who have died is to be held in Dundee University Chaplaincy Centre on Thursday, 4 May at 7.30pm.

Parents and families who have faced the difficult challenge of a baby or child dying are invited to a short service of remembrance. The service will include music, readings and the lighting of candles in memory of those who have died before, at, or after the time of birth.

Andrew Bennett, Healthcare Chaplain at NHS Tayside said, “The death of a child is something that remains with you. The Children's Memorial Service is an opportunity to gather with others who have had similar experiences to pause and to reflect. It offers space to acknowledge your loss, and to renew precious memories.”

The memorial service will include refreshment where those attending will have an opportunity to meet with others who have similar experiences.
