Through a generous donation by
the Cape County Memorial Park, a SHARE memorial
Area is located at the cemetery.
The area has been designated "Littlest Angels"
and is for the exclusive use of parents who have
lost their child at Southeast Missouri Hospital
before the 20th week of pregnancy.
The SHARE Memorial Area is located in the rear
center portion of the park, 10 feet east of the
gazebo sitting area. A beautiful bronze marker
donated by SHARE parents is located at the burial
site. Flowers and other items may be taken to
the marker. |

Infant burials are performed four
times a year -- during the last weeks of March,
June, September and December.
Parents are asked to wait until the first week
of the following month to visit the gravesite.
There are no formal graveside services. Parents
may have their own private service at the "Little
Angel" area if they wish. Parents are asked
to call the Memorial Park Cemetery office at (573)
334-1909 to inform them of the desire to have
a service.
