Parents raising funds after discovering shock price of baby's headstone

A young Dublin couple who tragically lost their first child have been forced to start a fundraiser to cover the costs of her funeral.

Reita Mallak and Glen McDermot and they were overjoyed when Reita fell pregnant in 2020. However, after a perfectly normal nine months of pregnancy, their daughter Mya was sadly stillborn in summer 2021.

The devastated couple were hit with a fresh blow when they discovered how much their daughter's funeral would cost - including €6,000 for a headstone. The pair have found themselves with no option but to launch a GoFundMe campaign as they are struggling to pay off their funeral debts.
