A Very Special Service To Those Who Lose A Child

must pay for grave space, grave opening and any other  

cemetery related items.

 (These are items & service sometimes requested but not required.)

The loss of a child is truly one of life’s most painful experiences.  There are no words of comfort that anyone can offer that will completely fill the void left by such a loss. 

Sadly, for many families, this experience is not only devastating emotionally, but financially as well.  Few families are adequately insured to cover all of the expenses surrounding such a loss. 

Crain Funeral Home has established a policy to provide, at no cost to the family, funeral (specified on the next page), for any child up to 5 years of age. 

This is a special service and Crain’s way of giving something back “to our community”.  It is our way of helping out at a very difficult time.  While we realize we cannot eliminate the emotional burden of such a terrible loss, we hope we can reduce the financial one. 

Available to residents of the following counties:

Tiny Angels rest your wings
sit with me for awhile.
How I long to hold your hand,
And see your tender smile.
Tiny Angel, look at me,
I want this image clear....
That I will forget your precious face
Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren't here for very long....
Why is it, you couldn't stay?
Tiny Angel shook his head,
"These things I do not know....
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so".
