God Bless you for being a hospice nurse, they helped me so very much with both my parents. When I worked at the funeral home a director once told me that a family member was upset that they used a "body bag" to remove her sister from the home. The director asked her how would it look without it. The cover you spoke of sounds like the perfect idea. Of course...it wouldn't be the right color (or something!) Helping greiving people is not necessarily easy, for sure. (

My mom, sister and I are all quilters. When my stepdad died a few years ago at home, the funeral home came to take his body and they covered him with a custom quilt fitted with an elasticized edge to fit over the stretcher. I thought it was lovely and so meaningful to us- maybe not to him, but I liked it. I am a hospice nurse and have never seen any other funeral home that had a quilt cover like that.
