Memorial Service Refreshments
When we have a family ask for refreshments for a service in Wisconsin, we put a Google Form on our main Facebook page.
*Unfortunately, Minnesota law doesn't allow homemade items to be provided at services, so we can only assist with services held in Wisconsin.
Memorial Photography
Memorial Photography
Photographs are one of the most treasured mementos a parent could have of their child. Many parents are uncomfortable making the decision to have photos taken, when they are grieving the loss of their baby. Those photos will be there when they are ready to have that peace and remember their child and the time they had with them.
We also provide photography for memorial services, for any age child. This is done in a very discreet manner, so that parents may look back and see all those loved ones that were there to remember their child and the impact that he or she has made on their lives.
All of our memorial photography is done FREE OF CHARGE for parents.
Angel Gown/Angel Box Hankie Seamstress
We are always looking for seamstresses to help create beautiful burial gowns from donated wedding dresses, for the babies that pass before or shortly after birth along with hankies made from wedding dresses for our Angel Boxes.
*Must be able to pick up a dress in New Richmond, WI or in Iron Ridge, WI
Grief Support Companion
Grief Support Companion
A Grief Support Companion will be a bereaved parent who is wanting to provide informal support and friendship to another more recently bereaved parent. It offers you and another parent an opportunity to share your grief and experiences together, to 'walk alongside' one another and in this way be a listening ear and an understanding 'friend'. Halos will initially get you connected and then the contact may be by phone, in person, email and/or Face Time, whatever works best for you both.
*You may sign up and not be matched with someone for a while if we don't have anyone who needs a companion right away.
