Laid to rest 4.19.2024,' the grieving parents shared Tuesday, next to a photo of a white box covered with white and pink flowers and a stuffed toy bunny on a table in the sanctuary of their church.
A vase of pink roses and carnations was placed nearby.
The program for the service featured the photo Jill, 32, and Derick, 35, used to announce the loss of the pregnancy with the baby's name Isla Marie Dillard and the words 'Planted on Earth to bloom in Heaven' on the front.

Jill announced that she suffered a heartbreaking stillbirth earlier this month, when she was four months pregnant.
She and her husband penned an emotional message to share the news with their fans.
'It is with heavy hearts that we announce the stillbirth of our beautiful baby girl, Isla Marie Dillard. Jill was 4 months pregnant (due in August) when we found out that our baby died in utero,' they wrote.
Duggar and Dillard added that they were particularly excited about the prospect of bringing a new member into their family.
'From the moment we found out we were pregnant, we couldn't wait to meet our baby. Isla was much loved from the start, and her 3 big brothers were so excited to introduce her to their world,' they wrote.
The pair concluded by thanking their longtime fans for their continued support as they dealt with the stillbirth of their child.
'We appreciate your prayers as we continue to grieve and heal from the loss of our little Isla Marie,' they wrote.
Duggar and Dillard initially met in 2011, and they went on to tie the knot in June of 2014.

The pair started a family with the birth of their son Israel, nine, in 2014, and they welcomed two more boys named Samuel, six, and Frederick, one, in 2017 and 2022, respectively
Jill and her family have distanced themselves from the Duggars in recent years and have not spoken to her parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar since her memoir was released in 2023
Jim, Michelle and their 19 kids, starred in the TLC series 19 and Counting from 2008 to 2015
Duggar previously had a miscarriage in 2021 with son River Bliss.
Last year Jill candidly spilled how she almost died bringing son Samuel into the world after the then-infant suffered a stroke during labor.
She revealed the harrowing tale of her second child's birth in her bombshell memoir, titled Counting the Cost.
She explained how she was rushed into surgery for an emergency C-section after an uterine rupture before finding out that the newborn had suffered a brain bleed as well.
Newborn Samuel, who had been 'unresponsive at birth,' was transferred to an NICU at a different hospital and Jill was not able to meet him for the first time until four days later.
Duggar, 32, who grew up in front of the camera on the TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting and other iterations of the show including Counting On, has been estranged from her parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar for several years.
There was no mention of Isla's loss on the Duggar Family Instagram account.
In her book, Counting the Cost, Duggar explained the 'secrets and manipulation' that went on behind the scenes of the show and whey they left the religious organization, Institute in Basic Life Principles, in which she and Dillard, 35, had been indoctrinated.
The couple also recounted their story in the documentary Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets.
