Loss of a Child Through Miscarriage
Catholic Cemeteries in the Archdiocese of Washington is offering a plan to help parents grieving the loss of a child through miscarriage. The established protocol within the medical community is to dispose of the remains of children under 20 weeks gestation (one pound in weight or smaller) as "medical waste". This long-held practice denies parents the chance to bury their beloved child and acknowledge his or her existence. The five major Archdiocesan cemeteries - All Souls, Gate of Heaven, Mount Olivet, Resurrection, and Queen of Peace - have now established dedicated sections to bury these miscarried children at no cost to the families. The cemeteries will provide a burial space, outer container, and opening and closing of the site free of cost Monday through Friday. Please contact your local Catholic church to make arrangements or call 301-475-5005.
