It is a common courtesy when a baby dies to provide memento's(photo's with siblings if this is deemed appropriate by the parents, foot prints and hand prints, wristband and cot card) These things should, in all truth, not inflate the costs and they make a huge difference to the grieving process for the parents and the extended family.
In real terms is is the equivalent of laying out the body of an adult...and the last kind act that you can, as a nurse, perform.
