Garden of Innocence Urn

While viewing the podcast from The Wood Whisperer, he mentioned an organization called Garden of Innocence. They are based in California and provide proper burial services for abandoned children found deceased and still born children whose remains are not claimed by the parents or family members. Typically, in these cases, the state takes the remains and places them in a Potters Field. Basically a mass grave. This organization takes the remains, gives the child a name, provides them an urn or casket, a small blanket and a toy, and gives them a proper burial. I believe most are cremated. As such, they are in need of donations, including urns and caskets. They provide a basic set of plans on the website to build one in pine, but they accept any shape and size as long as it fits a certain dimension limit (10"W x 10" H x 16" L). This is the first of my donations to this cause. They are looking to expand throughout the country, and I hope that they are successful.
