Every year in March, we come together to say the names of the treasured babies and children we have loved and lost – to honour their memory while highlighting the profound impact of each of these deaths. 

We invite you to join us in person on Sunday, 23rd March for the second annual Melbourne Say Their Name Day Remembrance Service. This event is proudly supported by our friends at Southern Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust. 

Light refreshments will be provided after the service and we invite you to stay to chat and connect.

When you check in, a gift will be there—
Your message in a bottle, handled with care.

A keepsake to hold, to cherish, to stay,
A whisper of love that won’t fade away.

Why Say Their Name?

When a baby or child dies, life as we know it stops – for parents, families and their wider communities.

This pain cannot be fixed, only carried. What makes this pain lighter to bear is often the simple acknowledgement of this reality from those who matter.

Saying a baby or child’s name alongside those who loved him or her is a powerful act of kindness and acknowledgement that requires no special knowledge or experience.

Say Their Name Day is a day for the whole community to demonstrate that every little life matters and deserves to be celebrated, and that bereaved families are deserving of all the support we can give.

Name by name, we're helping to break the stigma that prevents families from seeking support to help in their healing, in finding hope for the future, and in coping with their new “normal”.

Say Their Name Day also helps us raise much-needed funds to ensure that every grieving family has access to the support they need for as long as they need it.

Join with us this Say Their Name Day and together we can remember every little life and support bereaved families.

We understand that some cultures decline to speak the name of a life that has passed. Please know that at Red Nose we honour this tradition and would always adhere to what is acceptable for you and your family in this space of sharing and honouring a life loved.
