Supporting families through pregnancy and baby loss with compassion, care and remembrance.
In moments filled with shock, grief and silence, small acts of care can mean the world.
At William’s Embrace, we create bespoke memorial hand and foot castings for families experiencing the heartbreak of baby loss - offering something tangible to hold onto when words are not enough.
William’s Embrace exists to gently support families during these most difficult times, helping to preserve precious memories though free, bespoke memorial castings, made with dignity, respect, and love.
Free Remembrance Services
We support families affected by pregnancy and baby loss by providing free, personalised memorial castings that help preserve your precious memories and offer comfort in times of grief.
Castings
We provide memorial castings of both hands and feet. Your baby’s casts will be presented in a beautiful box, on a bed of shredded wildflower seed paper, which can be planted in memory of your baby.
Support & Calm
We provide flexible support that works around both family and hospital needs.
We will take the time to listen to you, and act gently, with respect and care during this incredibly sensitive time.
We understand that when a family experiences baby loss, time can feel distorted and overwhelming. Our role is not to rush, but to gently support you.
Training
We welcome volunteers from all walks of life who share our values of compassion, dignity, and care. We train midwives, hospital staff, and amazing volunteers to carry out our mould making process. This allowed us to carry out our work across more areas.

“The lovely girls Danika and Sophia who helped make casts of our baby girl’s feet, hands, nose, and mouth gave us memories we will treasure forever. Their kindness, compassion, and gentleness meant so much to us during such a painful time.”
— Kacey, recipient of one of William’s Embrace’s casting services
