Francis' Burial

Here are some pictures from Francis' burial on Saturday, June 6, at Holy Cross Cemetery.

Laying Francis to rest.
The coffin and blanket on top were provided by the funeral home.
I was given the blanket to keep.


Francis' name will be carved on this stone.

Flower arrangement courtesy of my wonderful friends from my parish's Catholic Daughters group.

Francis was buried in a section of the cemetery specifically for babies under 20 weeks gestation.
It's called the Rachel Section and has this statue next to the headstones.
(Didn't notice 'til later that one of the cemetery employees was behind the tree.)

  4. I've been meaning to come and comment ever since I saw that you lost your sweet baby. I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers have been with you the last couple weeks. I've had three miscarriages, including a "missed" miscarriage very similar to yours with Francis. It's so hard.
