Woronora Memorial Park warmly invites you to attend our 2023 Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Event.
We invite families, friends and supporters to attend this very important day where families and their supporters can unite to remember their babies that have gone too soon.
This special event recognises all kinds of loss, including early pregnancy loss, miscarriage, stillbirth, neo-natal death, SIDS, and accidental deaths. No matter the loss, it is a day to remember those babies that have passed, and to offer support to those that are grieving.
The service will see music, poems, speakers, the lighting of a candle representing the International Wave of light and a dove release. It will allow those who have lost a little one, time to reflect, remember and honour the time that they had with them.
This event is proudly supported by
Bears of Hope and White Lady Funerals
