We are committed to providing support to parents and families who are touched by the death of a baby or child.

Our Funeral Planner will act as your guide and support leading up to and including the funeral.  They will be able to meet with you either in hospital, on your return home, or at one of our many branches across Melbourne, or Echuca.

Given that many parents are unfamiliar with what options they may have our Funeral Planners will be able to provide you with information and options regarding the type of funeral services available to you, along with the associated costs.  They will focus upon your own personal needs and wishes, including those of a religious or cultural nature.

To assist families who may have lost a baby or child we have developed some informative reading material.  Download a copy of our pamphlet "Our Baby has Died" - Commonly Asked Questions. For more information on this topic, please go to podcasts.

We also hold a series of Remembering our Angels Services in November each year - our 2011 theme for these Services is 'The Hands Of Time'. These Services are open to everyone to attend.  Find out further details on dates/locations of the Remembering our Angels Services.

Julie Pearce is our Program Co-ordinator, Infants and Children.  Julie oversees a continuity of care to Tobin Brothers/Frances Tobin Funerals by Women families, which may include hospital/home visitations, transfer of baby or child, encouraging and assisting in the provision of inspired parental/family time, the aiding and nurturing of precious memories and experiences primarily via the provision of options, and guidance through funeral choices.

Another of Julie's most important focal areas is the funeral service itself.  Julie is well known for her creative and unique presentations of infant or child funeral services, which empower families to celebrate and acknowledge their baby's or child's life, no matter how brief their life may have been.
