Headstones for Stillborn Children

Headstones for stillborn children symbolize particularly profound tragedies in life and therefore always carry a special significance. In such difficult times, we are here to support you with all of our experience and empathy.

What is a 'Star Child'?

The birth of a child is an incredibly exciting and joyous moment. However, some parents do not get to experience this moment because their child is born too early or passes away shortly after birth. 

A child who dies before, during, or shortly after birth is commonly referred to as a 'Star Child.' Some people also call these special children angels.

Why should bereaved parents consider acquiring a headstone for their Star Child?

Parents of a Star Child have a lot to cope with. 

The ultimate happiness of the birth of their child mixes with the deepest sorrow – that of loss. 

The early and sudden death of a child always catches parents completely unprepared and leaves a profound gap and bewilderment. A place to visit, to mourn, and to process what has happened can be very helpful. 

A headstone can be an important symbol that this child was part of this world, just like the rest of us, and that despite their short life, they will not be forgotten. 

A headstone is a wonderful way to honor the Star Child for eternity. Messerschmidt Headstones specializes in the creation of headstones for Star Children. We offer a wide range of designs and materials for you to choose from so you can find a personal and unique headstone for your Star Child.
