The Wings of Love Memorial Fund is a program of the  Western New York Perinatal Bereavement Network, Inc., a 501c3 nonprofit organization that is funded solely by private and corporate donations. “Wings of Love” provides financial assistance for burial costs to ease some of the unexpected financial burden placed on grieving families during the tragic loss of their baby.  The funds are used to purchase infant urns, caskets, and cemetery plots, as well as to pay cremation fees, burial fees, and funeral home expenses. 

Through Wings of Love, the WNYPBN has established Memorial Gardens throughout the Western New York region. These gardens provide a place of solace and memorialization for bereaved families, in particular those who have no final resting place for their baby, possibly because they had a miscarriage or because they chose cremation. In order to meet the needs of the families that we serve, the WNYPBN is working to complete its fourth memorial garden. This memorial will feature a monument with a bronze tree design, symbolizing the honor and love for our children that will remain rooted in our hearts forever. This eight-foot-tall monument will pay tribute to the babies and families served by the WNYPBN and Wings of Love Memorial Fund, as well as any family that has experienced a perinatal loss.

Together, the Wings of Love Memorial Fund and the Wings of Love Memorial Gardens meet the financial needs as well as the emotional needs of bereaved families who may otherwise not have options for interment of their baby. Donations made toward Wings of Love will help the WNYPBN to assist families in our area who have experienced the devastating loss of a baby.
