Stillbirthday wants to acknowledge the organizations, businesses and professionals that implement good strategy in supporting families in birth and in bereavement by offering such entities membership, mentorship and advertising along with our federally authorized mark of certification, and by so doing, encourage families that they live in a conscientious community filled with resources that are ready to support well.
The SBD Registry continues to grow. Here is a complete list of businesses who’ve joined our Registry, in two sections: general/universal (not contigent upon location) and, globally, by location. You can also view the SBD Registry facebook page.

Bonding | Time
FlexMort Cuddle Cot : Transferring to and from the morgue is now widely regarded as an outdated practice as it is traumatic for parents to repeatedly go through the separation process whereas the CuddleCot allows the family to spend every moment with their baby, precious moments where every minute counts. It is recommended that the Cuddle Cot be purchased by the hospital directly, for your financial security, rather than what was once a popular method of family fundraising and unnecessary third party involvement.

About our Photographers listing
Photographers who make our list have proven their ability to provide exceptional “Rainbow Photography.” They are lovingly available to apply general photographer’s concepts of sessions into as gentle an experience and as beautiful a keepsake for you as possible.
The additional, specialized skills they can offer include:
- photographing beloved babies not alive (bereavement or remembrance photography) at free/pro-bono/sliding scale/bartering
- Maternity Photography, or documenting pregnancy. Can also be “rainbow” maternity.
- Birth Photography, or documenting the course of labor.
- Newborn Photography generally happens within the first 48 hours (“fresh 48”) or so after birth.
- Rainbow Photography — all of the photographers below provide exceptional rainbow photography.
These are resources, like the wonderful items above, that are for purchase or hire, unless you are enduring the birth and death of your beloved baby;
when you utilize free resources as you are in need of them, it is kind to hire them in the future, refer others to them now and/or tip them, so that they will have the provision to continue serving families in the moments they need them most. Please tell them that stillbirthday connected you.
