Bereavement
Our thoughts are with you and your loved ones during this difficult time. The Bereavement Committee provides resources to share with anyone who experiences the loss of an infant or child. This includes online resources, community resources, information regarding our annual Children’s Service of Remembrance at Memorial Hospital, and additional ways to cope with grief.Annually, Beacon Children’s Hospital hosts a Service of Remembrance to honor those infants and children who have passed. This event takes place on the first Sunday in May on the campus of Memorial Hospital.
