Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that once we shared
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all part of nature’s plan
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know.
Laugh at all the things we used to do
Miss me, but let me go.

A non-religious funeral ceremony for a baby
________________________________________

A humanist funeral ceremony for a baby recognises the depth of the loss and pain, acknowledging the unique significance of the child who has died, and all the ways their short life has touched and left an impression on the lives of the people around them.
We understand that planning a funeral or memorial service after the loss of a baby is one of the most difficult things a parent will ever do. A ceremony that focuses on the child may help the grieving process.
Often, the parents of babies who have died prematurely, or shortly after birth, will be asked before leaving the hospital to start making decisions about a burial or cremation – before they have really had time to process what has happened.
Conducting a ceremony for a life that has been fleeting
Humanist celebrant Sue Baumbach says: ‘Each life is precious, no matter how soon it ends. Parents tell us of the ways in which their baby was an individual; the effect their baby had on their lives; the personality that so often emerges before birth; or the brave struggle some babies have in the early stages of life.
‘They share with us the hope, anticipation, and excitement that the prospect of new life brought to them and their family – and to friends as well. They will also speak about the sadness and the heart-stopping moment of loss.
