Guidelines -Tracing a Baby's Grave

Back in 2003, when our founder Paula Jackson set of on a journey to find information about baby Zoe Gentle and what happened in relation to her birth, death and burial, she contacted the charity SANDS (Stillbirth & Neonatal Death Charity). They sent Paula a piece of paper consisting of information on two thirds of the page, the information was basic and was not especially helpful in Paula's search. Paula decided that she had know choice but to explore and discover for herself and eventually, she managed to trace Zoe's resting place and other information about Zoe's brief life and subsequent death..

Eight years after her search for Zoe, Paula decided to write a booklet, giving guidance on tracing a baby's grave, based on the things she had discovered, learnt and experienced in those years. The Tracing a Baby's Guidelines were the first ever publication written on the subject of Tracing a Baby's Grave.

The Guidelines were originally published in 2011 and revised in 2014. The Guidelines are once again, in the process of being revised based on an ongoing learning process.
