We are so sorry for your loss. Each Making Memories Box is prepared with care by bereaved parents for bereaved parents. Every item is chosen to honour your little one and to help you create gentle, lasting memories.
Overview
Each box is unique and lovingly assembled in memory of a child. Every parent is offered a choice of gown style and material. If we do not have a specific size in stock, we will aim to have one made to order by one of our seamstresses or volunteers, subject to availability.
Materials and Choices
Gown and wrap materials — silk, satin, knitted, crocheted, soft fabric.
Styles available — gown, forever wrap, bonnet, tiny booties, crib lining.
Colour and material selection — parents may choose preferred colours and materials on the application form.
Please let us know ASAP if you are thinking of a special gown, forever wrap, or crib so we can prioritise your request.
Measurements and Bespoke Service
Handmade to size — if a suitable item is not in stock, we aim to handmake to size within 48 hours, depending on volunteer availability.
Delivery — completed items are sent to your home via courier, where possible.
Provide measurements — length (crown to heel), crown to gown base, chest circumference, shoulder width, neck circumference, arm length, head circumference, weight and gestation if known. Give measurements in centimetres or inches; we will convert if needed. If unsure, provide an approximate size and indicate whether you prefer a looser or snug fit.
Keepsakes and Personal Notes
Handpicked keepsakes — each box contains a small selection of donated keepsakes chosen by our team; items vary from box to box.
Handwritten card — every box includes a handwritten note from another bereaved parent.
Personal requests — use the Other section of the application to tell us about any specific items or wishes; we will endeavour to honour requests within reason, but cannot guarantee particular donated keepsakes.
If you have a personal keepsake you would like included, note this on the form, and we will do our best to accommodate it.
Volunteer Story and Values
From one bereaved parent to another — every volunteer who packs and prepares boxes does so in memory of their own baby, infant, or child.
Dignity and choice — regardless of age, size, or religion, our goal is to help you choose what is right for you and your little one.
#dressedwithdignity — we understand the importance of being dressed with care and respect.
Special Boxes and Funding
Burial Boxes and Burial Outfits — gifted to families at no charge where funding allows.
Angelversary, Keepsake, and Heavenly Birthday Boxes — these may vary in cost and depend on available funding or donations. Please indicate interest in the application form so we can advise on options and any associated costs.
How to Apply
Complete the application form and include measurements and any special requests in the Other section.
Mark urgent if you need a faster turnaround, and we will prioritise where possible.
We will contact you to confirm details, sizing, and delivery arrangements.
Each Making Memories Box is prepared with compassion, respect, and the hope that it brings a small measure of comfort. Every item is chosen with love — unique, personal, and made to honour the little life it represents. You can access the order form here, and if you email the team once completed, this allows us to action new requests effectively and within our timescale, 72 hours.
