Miscarriage Support If you would like to have your baby’s body and/or placenta to take home for burial ask hospital staff for this before going into theatre or with tablets, before they take effect. The hospital usually disposes of everything in the hospital incinerator. Miscarriage Support Auckland strongly recommends that you ask for everything that is removed by the D&C to be able to bury later to assist with healthy grief recovery. There are no legal requirements for burial in NZ for a miscarriage.
