Heartbroken young Dublin couple raising funds after discovering shock price of baby's headstone

A young couple from Dublin who are grieving the loss of their first child have been forced to start a fundraiser to cover the costs of the funeral.

Reita Mallak and Glen McDermot were excited about their first arrival when they found out Reita was pregnant in 2020. But after a healthy nine months of pregnancy, their daughter Mya was sadly stillborn in June 2021.

The couple were then hit with a fresh blow when they discovered how much their daughter's funeral would cost, which included €6,000 for a headstone.
