The Miscarriage Association of Ireland

The Miscarriage Association of Ireland is delighted that we currently have five memorial stones in place and are planning to place a memorial stone in Caragh, Naas, Co. Kildare in November 2011. These stones are dedicated to all babies lost through miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy and all babies whose lives were too short. Some babies have their own resting place in a family plot or a grave but some who only got to share our lives briefly do not and so their families sometimes need a memorial or a nice peaceful place to visit and think of them.

It is our aim to place Memorial Stones in as many locations around the country as possible. We are planning another Memorial Stone at the moment.

If you are interested in getting a Memorial Stone placed in a cemetery near you and are in a position to liaise with the cemetery regarding placement of the stone please contact us and we would be happy to discuss further.

See below for details of individual Memorial Stones.

The Miscarriage Association of Ireland have a Memorial Stone in Glasnevin Cemetery, North County Dublin. It is dedicated to all babies lost through miscarriage. Some babies lost through late miscarriage are already buried in Glasnevin in the Holy Angels' Plot and their parents find comfort in being able to visit their graves and place flowers there on their anniversaries, at Christmas time and on other special days.

On 7th November 2010, The Miscarriage Association of Ireland placed our fifth Memorial Stone in Redford Cemetery in Greystones.

"A group of men, women and children gathered in Redford Cemetery in Greystones. They had come to remember their lost children, grandchildren and siblings - little babies born too soon.

On this particular day, a beautiful memorial stone was being dedicated. I was very honoured to represent the Miscarriage Association on this very special occasion."
