What is the Vessel for?
The use of the vessel filled with water gives the body of the baby a womb-like environment. We recommend a saline solution 0.9% saline or 0.9% contact solution, to “preserve” the baby by slowing down the deterioration process by a using this natural preservative. We also recommend that families place the baby in a cold not frozen place when not viewing the baby to slow the deterioration. These techniques can be used for a couple to a few days until burial. For more information, to go our Why the Vessel
What size Urn do I need?
We offer a variety of urn sizes. Each urn describes the capacity of cremated remains in “cubic inches”. You should ask the funeral home/hospital for the cubic inches of your baby’s cremated remains to be sure you order the correct size.
What size Casket should I order?
The caskets on our website are divided by gestation of your baby, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trimester. 1st trimester (weeks 6-12) order 4″ – 9″ casket. 2nd trimester (weeks 13-26) order 9″ – 18″ casket. 3rd trimester (weeks 27-40) order 18″-27″ casket. You should order a casket that is about 3-4 inches longer than your baby’s length.

What can I do when no one wants to talk about my loss anymore?
Here are some things we at Heaven’s Gain have found to be helpful. Give yourself time to cry each day. Journal every day. Find one friend to confide in. If you need to convey your feelings to your spouse but cannot have an open conversation about your feelings, write your spouse a letter or even an email.
