Bereavement Rooms
Bereavement and family rooms offer families the opportunity to spend precious time with their baby or child in a peaceful and homely environment while they prepare to say goodbye. They are ideally positioned away from the main wards but with staff and medical facilities on hand.
4louis have funded many bereavement and family rooms from providing soft furnishings, kitchenettes, to full renovations. Some of our projects have been funded by families in memory of their little ones.
