Anybody know what organization helps with infant funerals?

A couple in my sisters HUD building lost their baby to SIDS on Friday and do not have enough money for a funeral here in MN.

I see more and more funerals "postponed" I am guessing until people get some money together.

1. Are they in Hennepin County? Counties are responsible for helping cover funerals for people who

can't pay.

5. Possible financial, definite emotional support from Compassionate Friends

I don't believe they offer outright financial help, but members will go the extra mile to help.

Maybe funeral homes have some suggestions, too.

I'm so sorry to hear about this. :cry: It's so sad.

7. There is an organization near Minneapolis

called IRIS that helps people deal with still births and losing babies. They might have some resources. Check their website.
