Forever Finley (23 weeks gestation onwards)
Location: Essex, Kent and parts of Suffolk
We cast babies from 23 gestation onwards. We can cast at the Hospital or Funeral Homes, before or after post mortem. We can also cast even if babies skin condition is quite poor as usually the soles of babies feet and the palms of hands are usually perfect. Please talk to us about any concerns or worries.
The process involves pushing babies feet into a pot of alginate. Alginate is completely safe and non toxic, it is used by dentists for mouth moulds. We then wait a few minutes for the alginate to go hard. Once hard, we then wriggle babies hands/feet out of the mould. We will then fill the mould with plaster and then once this has set, we demould it. The plaster has to be left to dry fully before finishing and painting. The whole process can take up to 6 to 8 weeks before the casts are returned. The casts can be provided loose or framed, painted or unpainted, we will make recommendations based on the quality of the casts and can advise how best to protect them.
Parents can be present if they wish for the casting process or a consent form can be completed to provide Forever Finley with authority to cast

Little Cloud (Formerly Judah’s cloud)
Location: Across UK
We train midwives, NICU nurses and other healthcare professionals to take moulds from babies before shipping them to our HQ where they are filled and finished to a high standard.
The casts are then returned to the hospital after 3-4 months where they can be collected. This process ensures the safest service for everyone involved and provides a continuity of care when it is needed most.”
When we partner with a hospital or hospice we’ll arrange a face to face training date or send you video files to arrange dates with smaller groups of staff. We then send all the equipment and materials you need. You’ll be trained to take moulds of baby’s feet, and provided with all the instructions to send those to Little Cloud HQ to be filled and finished before being returned to you.
Please email amy@littlecloud.co.uk to join our waiting list or discuss casting in your hospital or hospice
William's Embrace
Currently accessed through Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board hospitals, with service available to other areas on request.
We provide memorial hand and foot castings for families experiencing baby loss, including preterm loss, stillbirth, and neonatal loss (up to 28 days from discharge home, or up to 1 year if the baby remained in hospital, hospice, or palliative care). We train hospital staff to take the initial casting moulds, or we can attend in person to take the moulds alongside healthcare professionals. We also supply display example boxes to participating hospitals so families can see our work and color options firsthand before we complete the final finishing process.

Little Cloud (Formerly Judah’s Cloud)
Location: Across UK
Providing micro-prem clothing & 3D casting to hospitals, children's hospices & funeral directors across the UK.
We create clothing especially for babies who are smaller than standard “premature” sized clothing.
Sets contain two identical sleepsuit and hats; so parents can keep something their baby has worn or a replica of it.
Duo boxes come in four sizes, ranging from approximately 18 weeks to 32 weeks gestation.
How does it work:
“As with 3D casting, we currently run a waiting list for our tiny clothing boxes. Once you reach the top of the list you will be provided with a link to order new boxes as and when you need them. We ask that when joining the list you give us a rough estimate of the number you will need per year. We won’t hold you to this number and it won’t impact your position on the waiting list – but it does help us to plan and allocate our resources. Once you are partnered with us to provide tiny clothing we want to keep a constant supply for you, so knowing these figures in advance helps up to make sure we can continue doing this.”
To join the waitlist, please email amy@littlecloud.co.uk
