Due to the increasing costs of headstones and demand for our services we are implementing a new process for requests for Headstone funding. We ask that before you make a request for funding you have identified a stone mason and have a quote for your chosen design. We understand that choosing a headstone for your child can be a daunting process and so we have put together some guidance to help you think about what is needed. If you have any questions please contact us on contact@ripplesofcompassion.com

Requests can be made at any time for headstones. However, we will review all requests once a quarter in March, June, September and December.

We may not be able to offer all families funding for their headstone but we will do our best to help every family. It is unlikely that we will be able to offer to fund the full amount and typically we can give around £500. We can fundraise for specific headstones for families to help increase this amount and work closely with families to make sure they are happy with any information that goes into a fundraising page.

We remain partnered with Tyler’s Friends Charity who support bereaved parents to enable them to have the funeral and memorial of their wishes for their previous baby or child. To find out more about Tyler’s Friends and the work they do please visit their website https://www.tylersfriends.co.uk/
