National Wave of Light @ Graceland Cemetery West

Remembering Every Baby. Honoring Every Family.

Gathering begins at 6:45 PM | Wave of Light begins at 7:00 PM

**Graceland Cemetery West**

In recognition of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, The Gentle Goodbye Foundation invites our community to join us for the National Wave of Light, a special evening dedicated to remembering babies whose lives, no matter how brief, left a lasting impact.

Evening Schedule

We will gather at 6:45 PM for opening remarks from Brandon Phipps, Co-Founder and Executive Director of The Gentle Goodbye Foundation. At 7:00 PM, we will begin our Wave of Light as candles are illuminated in memory of precious babies gone too soon.

Graceland Cemetery West Families

Families of infants laid to rest at Graceland Cemetery West are especially invited to attend. Graceland West Families in attendance will receive a special memorial gift, and information and resources related to grief, infant loss, and child loss will be available.

Sponsor a Light — $5

Graceland Cemetery West was founded in 1918, and many infants have been laid to rest there throughout its long history. For some of these babies, there may no longer be a family member able to attend and light a candle in their memory.

**This is where our community can help.**

For just $5, you can sponsor a light in memory of a baby and help us ensure that even when no family member is present, that little life is still remembered.

Our hope is simple:

Every baby deserves to be remembered. Every life deserves a light.
