Compassionate Burials for Indigent Babies (CBIB) is a 501© (3) non-profit organization committed to providing dignified burials for abandoned or indigent babies in Louisiana. Their dedicated team assist in the funerals and burials of the babies and in turn brings comfort and closure to their families. Their belief is that all life deserves respect and dignity. Their Mission is to raise awareness of the Safe Haven Law so babies will not be thrown away because the mother did not know there was a place to bring her child, with no questions asked. A dignified burial includes internment of the baby which has been placed in a small casket. This casket has been lined with a silk/satin material usually obtained through donations of wedding gowns and baptismal gowns. CBIB has advised that they would gratefully accept donations of Fourth Degree regalia capes of any color (red, white, purple, green and gold). They will separate the satin lining from the cloth exterior and remove any Knights of Columbus insignia and then the cape liner will be used to line the inside of an infant’s casket. The cloth exterior will be disposed. If you have been wondering what to do with your cape, this is a great opportunity for it to be re-purposed for a great cause.
