Baby and Child Remembrance Service at Ormskirk Hospital

16th November 2018

On Wednesday 5 December, the annual baby and child memorial service will take place at Ormskirk District General Hospital.

All who have experienced loss, whether recently or in the past are invited. Everyone is welcome to come along and join in this non-denominational service of carols, Christmas music and readings. Music will be provided by the Salvation Army Band.

Refreshments will be provided from 6pm and the service begins at 6.30pm, in the baby garden at Ormskirk hospital.

The service will last for approximately 20 minutes. There will be an opportunity to record names of loved ones on a Christmas bauble, and place these on the tree during the service. Visitors will be able to take a bauble, with their loved ones name, home after the service to hang on their own Christmas tree.

One staff member also makes personal candles for families to take home as a keepsake.
