Why this memorial care brand offers free cremation for stillborn babies, young infants

Grieving is made more difficult by the fact that many Filipinos still cannot afford memorial services for their departed loved ones, according to recent studies.

So, how do regular low-income Filipinos say goodbye to those who have left knowing there aren’t enough funds?

In times of great loss, Golden Haven maintains its commitment to compassionate memorial care by assisting families who would otherwise struggle to afford dignified funeral and cremation services.

Through its Chapels and Crematorium operations in Las Piñas, Golden Haven provides free cremation services for stillborn babies and infants below three months old, allowing families to honor and remember their loved ones without incurring additional cremation costs.

The initiative embodies Golden Haven’s belief that every life, no matter how brief, deserves to be treated with dignity and remembered with love.

“We know that no words can truly ease the pain of losing a child. What we can do is make sure that, during such an incredibly difficult time, families are given the opportunity to say goodbye with dignity, compassion, and respect. This is our way of extending care when families need it most,” said Jocelyn Vivo, Head of Chapels and Crematorium of Golden Haven.

Golden Haven’s commitment to compassionate assistance extends to families experiencing financial difficulties when planning funeral services. Through its CSR initiatives, the company donates caskets to families who demonstrate a genuine need and have limited funds to cover funeral expenses.

This initiative is not limited to Golden Haven’s Las Piñas operations. Its commitment to community service extends to the Golden Haven Zamboanga Crematorium, where the company assists families in need with casket donations and other forms of memorial support.

For the brand, these efforts are an important part of its overall responsibility as a memorial care provider. Beyond providing facilities and services, the company recognizes its role in helping communities through some of life’s most difficult times.

“Memorial care is ultimately about people. There are families who come to us at a time when they are grieving and, sometimes, they are also worrying about how they will afford to give their loved one a proper farewell. When we are able to help, we believe we have a responsibility to do so,” Vivo added.

Through these programs, the company keeps putting its dedication to providing compassionate care into practice by helping both its customers and the people in the communities it serves.

Because it takes more than just designing exquisite memorial spaces to provide the best possible memorial care. It also entails supporting families during their most vulnerable times, providing dignity when they most need it, and assisting in ensuring that every life, regardless of situation, has a meaningful farewell.
