Garden of Innocence

Garden of Innocence Fresno

This beautiful garden was created by Elaine Tosh, the Manager of Mountain View Cemetery in Fresno, CA. Elaine could not do enough to make the babies resting place the most beautiful. As soon as she heard about Garden of Innocence and offered a spot for us there, she went to work designing and building the perfect place.

May 7, 2016 - We laid to rest 15 babies this day in our Garden: Karl, Janette, Monson, Adelita, Esperanza, Matthew, Rebekah, Elisa, Austin, Dee, Kelly, Ezekiel, Kenzie, Sofia & Kolby

The service was beautiful and attended by many from the community that came together to be there to help send these little children home.

November 14, 2015 we laid to rest Eight babies: Jill, Stella, Aurora, Isaac, Christopher, Samuel, Nehemiah & Jeremiah. Was a very moving and emotional service with 100's of strangers coming to spend 55 minutes in the Garden caring for a baby that had no one yesterday.

If No One Grieves, No One Will Remember!
