    I don't have any specific advice here but my own grandmother had a similar situation in the early 60s. I don't know what the hospital did with his remains.

    My best suggestion is to contact the hospital to get an idea of what their policy was in the 60s.

    Some of the hospitals had "Angels Plots" where still born babies were buried. In Dublin many of the babies were taken to the Angels plot in Glasnevin.

    As previously stated, if you can locate the name of the hospital, contact them and ask.

    Good luck.
