I'm really sorry to hear that this has happened to you and your wife. I haven't been through it so I can't offer any concrete advice beyond what I would I hope I would do in this situation.

In most countries there are services for miscarried and still born children to be buried in graves with other lost babies. It might still feel impersonal but I think I would feel a lot better knowing that my child's final resting place was outside in nature.

I can only really say that inwardly I am very angry at the situation, while outwardly trying to remain something positively stoic

Remember that it's ok to grieve. Spend time with your wife, comfort her and let her support you. Women are often more resilient than we give them credit for. I would say that's it's important for both of you to attend the final appointment. I learnt while my wife was pregnant for the first time that a lot of what is done to pregnant women is degrading and humiliating. Be with her and make sure that she's treated with respect and allowed some dignity.
