The Butterfly Suite provides a private and peaceful bedroom, lounge and garden - a place for families to take time to say goodbye to children after they have died.

The Butterfly Suite provides precious time with your child after they have died. Families are able to bring favourite toys, belongings and photos to make the room personal to them.

Care in the Butterfly Suite is provided for 7 days, during that time we will work side by side with funeral directors and yourselves to provide personal care to your child.

Private accommodation is available for families to stay, if required. Bereavement support continues for as long as it is needed and counselling can be provided if you feel it would be helpful. Referrals can be made to the Linden Centre, our specialist counselling and advice centre.

The suite is available to all families on the Fylde Coast whose child has died, even if the child has not used Brian House services previously. For more information about the suite and bereavement support at Brian House, please give us a call on 01253 952589.

Without the support of Brian House both during Charlie’s short life and immediately following his passing, we really could not have coped.

Every year we hold the Butterfly Service for families, in memory of their children. Family will also be invited to have a plaque with their child’s name inscribed on our memory tree and a page in the Brian House book of remembrance - both of which are lasting tributes.
