Memorials Matter: Helping families to access funding for children’s headstones

Losing a child is one of the hardest experiences any family can face. Amid the waves of grief, families often face the added stress of ensuring their child’s memory is properly honoured.

The cost of a child’s headstone can become a daunting obstacle during an already difficult time.

At Stevie Stones, we aim to alleviate some of this burden by offering funding for childrens headstones. As one of the few charities that help pay for gravestones, our mission is to ensure that every family has the opportunity to provide a fitting tribute to their child, no matter their financial situation.

Why Memorials Matter

A child’s headstone is more than just a marker; it’s a lasting tribute to a precious life. It gives parents and families a place to visit, reflect, and remember their loved one. But for many, the costs associated with creating a memorial can be overwhelming, especially when grief has already taken such a toll on every aspect of life.

At Stevie Stones, we believe that no family should have to worry about whether they can afford a memorial. Every child deserves a space where their memory can live on, and every parent should have a place they can visit to feel connected to their child.

How We Help

Our charity provides financial assistance to families, helping them cover the cost of children’s gravestones

Whether you’re in need of a traditional headstone or something more unique to honour your child’s memory, we’re here to help. There’s no rush—families can come to us for support whenever they feel ready. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and neither does the need for a memorial.

By providing funding for childrens headstones, we’ve helped many families create beautiful and meaningful tributes that reflect the lives of their little ones. We work closely with you to understand your wishes and provide guidance on designing a headstone that feels right for your family.

Emotional Support and Community

Beyond financial assistance, we also offer emotional support. We understand that grieving a child is a lifelong journey, and having a supportive community makes all the difference. Our private Facebook group is a safe space where families can share their stories, seek advice, and find comfort among others who truly understand what they’re going through. By connecting with others, you’ll find that you’re not alone in your grief. Whether you’re seeking advice on memorials or simply looking for a compassionate ear, our community is here for you.

In addition to this, we hope to soon be able to provide our families with grief counselling, which can be taken as a one-off session, or as part of an ongoing programme. We’ll let you know as soon as this facility is available, but if you need support sooner, please get in touch with us so that we can signpost you to the best pathway.

Get Involved or Reach Out

If you or someone you know is struggling with the loss of a child and could use assistance in creating a memorial, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to listen, help, and support you through this incredibly tough time.
