We recommend that all miscarriage burials take place in cemeteries versus at a person's residence.  It avoids future issues which may arise when moving your residence or when a home burial site needs to be disturbed. Please contact your cemetery to find out what their burial policies are.  We recommend that you show the cemetery personnel the burial containers you intend on using prior to your purchase.  Many cemeteries allow burials of miscarried babies at the head of cemetery plots which you own (or a relative owns). Also, many cemeteries offer small, reasonably priced plots in a "Baby Garden" for this type of burial.

If you decide a cemetery burial is not feasible, then a home burial may be your only option.  Be sure to check the laws in your area which may govern this. Assure prior to digging that your burial site is not over any underground dangers such as buried wires, gas lines, etc.  Also, be sure to mark your burial site with some sort of permanent marker.  You may consider burying a large metal object a few inches under the ground over the burial site so that it can be detected with a metal detector at a later date.
