Carried By Community

Supporting Families Through Child Loss

“We are carried
in bellies,
in arms,
in love,
in hope,
in caskets,
in urns,
in grief,
in memories,
our whole lives
and into the next
we are carried.”
-A Poem by Sara Rian

The Carried by Community Fund is a new effort by the Michigan Deathcare Collaborative. As it gets going, the fund aims to provide Michigan bereaved families with supportive services from members of our Collaborative following the death of an infant or child. Examples of services include bereavement support with end-of-life doulas, personalized caskets or urns by local artisans, energy work, funeral expense assistance, and more.

This fund is heavily powered by community donations, and every penny helps! Please consider donating while we get this program going.
