In many cases stillborn babies were buried in a shared grave with other babies. These graves are usually unmarked, though they do have a plot number and can be located on a cemetery plan. In other cases, babies were buried in shared graves with adults.
In many cases several babies were cremated together. This still happens when a hospital arranges funerals for very premature babies. The crematorium should have a record of where the ashes were scattered or buried.
If your search is successful, make an appointment to be shown the exact location of the grave, or the area where the ashes were scattered or buried. Most cemetery and crematoria staff will be very helpful and will give you as much information and help as they can. You may want to take a camera with you to take photographs. There are sometimes restrictions on what can be placed on a grave – especially if it is a shared grave – or a place where ashes from several babies were scattered or buried. The staff will tell you what is allowed.
