Stillbirth at home?

So, in researching for my dissertation I have so far found several things of interest that I will be including:

- That awful time following the discovery that your baby has died in the womb but before you are induced at the hospital - it seems to me this time needs to not be of a set length but discussed with the parents, parents should not be left alone to digest this unless they request so and most importantly the time should be structured to give parents answers and information they need, at a rate which does not cause them distress.
- Making memories with the baby and gaining remembrance items can be essential to aiding grieving processes, however parents should not be forced into seeing and holding a baby who is born sleeping if they do not want to. With gentle encouragement and support from midwives holding and photographing the baby can reduce symptoms of anxiety further along your journey.

Something which has struck me, and I have not yet found any information on at all is the possibility of giving birth at home. The hospital environment could make a vulnerable couple feel more exposed at their time of need. The maternity ward is full of newborn babies. Could giving birth at home be a viable option? More comfort, never having to leave your baby before the funeral (provided some kind of cold cot could be provided), having whoever over whenever you like to meet and make memories with your baby? The risks could be great - inducing a mother and then sending her home is unlikely to be something an obstetrician would consider and not being induced could lead to anxious feelings about the child still inside - but could it become a reality if support was offered in the right way?

I have been unable to find any research or experiences of this - have you had a stillbirth at home? Do you know of somone who has who would be willing to share? I would be appreciative of any help in possibly making this a reality.
