Why does the Sands memory blanket need to be in white?
Sadly, there is great need for our Memory Boxes which go to bereaved parents from all walks of life and from different backgrounds and beliefs. So, to ensure that Memory Boxes are appropriate for every baby, we only use white blankets as they are a neutral colour. In some cases where a baby has died early in pregnancy, parents do not know the gender of their baby, and different colours can have different cultural significances.
Where do I send finished Memory Box blankets?
