Butterfly
Memorial garden for babies born before 24 weeks

The Butterfly Garden in Bournemouth, Dorset is a home for the ashes of any deceased baby, whether it is one that has died in the womb or has been aborted. Hospital Chaplain, Canon Jane Lloyd performs a regular monthly service for the very young babies that have not lived. She scatters their ashes in the Butterfly Garden. Ruth Oliver went to watch one of the memorial services and spoke to some women whose children had died.
