placenta casting
Memorialize your placenta's "tree of life!"
Family Life Casting is now offers placenta casting. The hospital requires that the placenta be removed from their facility within 4 hours after delivery. It is packaged nicely in a plastic bag and sealed in a small bucket to be refrigerated until casting time (within a few days). An adult must deliver and remain (or run errands) during the casting process which is about an hour so it can be re-packaged and returned to the family.
Once the mold is cast, it needs to cure for at least 7 to 10 days and comes with one paint color (an antique finish is also available as seen in the photo). Price is $225 with a $100 cash deposit at appointment time and the balance is due when completed, usually 2 to 3 weeks. A shadowbox is included in the price.
