Embryo Remains Burial

A sad reality of IVF is that not all embryos will survive to be transferred. Unless you request in advance, the standard IVF lab process is to dispose of your deceased embryos as medical waste.

Burial is a dignified alternative to waste disposal. Providing burial for your deceased embryos is an act of love which treats their remains with dignity and gives them a perpetually cared for place in this world.

"I can’t begin to tell you how much this means to me. To know that these babies were shown the utmost respect and laid to rest with so much dignity- thank you! Thank you for acknowledging these lives and for giving us the honor of being acknowledged as their parents. The depth of comfort it brings is enormous."

"I wanted to thank you for going out of your way to help me be “present” for the funeral. I do appreciate you videoing the service, allowing me to Zoom in, and mentioning my sweet <embryo’s> name."

"We really struggled with what to do with our extra embryos and this was a hard decision but it gave us an option that aligned more with our wishes and faith."
