If you have chosen to have your baby cremated, the process for picking up your baby’s cremains is as follows.
Information to give to your nurse before leaving the hospital:
- Name and relationship of person that will be picking up your baby’s cremains. This person will be required to show their photo ID during pick up process.
- Telephone number so that the morgue attendant can contact you. The morgue attendant will contact you when remains are ready to arrange a date/time for pick up.
How Long Will it be Before I Can Pick up My Baby’s Cremains?
The process usually takes one to two weeks. The morgue attendant will call you at the number you have provided and arrange a time for you or the person you approve to pick up the cremains. They will meet you at the Discharge Reception Desk or the Information Desk across from Lobby Café.
