Late Term and Child Loss

Intro

This will be short and quick.  I had a horrible delivery, and my son was born with no heart beat.  They revived him after 8 minutes, but he suffered significant brain damage. 

 

He was cooled for 3 days, and came home from the NICU two weeks ago.  He is six weeks old, and hospice thinks we have a few days left.

 

I specifically am looking for information about funerals.  How much did it cost?  Do babies get head stones and a plot at the cemetery too?

    We did have a funeral for our daughter but we did everything graveside, nothing at church.  I was so overwhelmed with the fact that I was actually planning her funeral
