I live in a NH/RC ( Lutheran)(nursing home/ rehabilitation center) and when residents here are very ill or going to pass we put a butterfly on the name plate outside their door. This goes either to the family or with the resident. When the Funeral Home is ready to leave the building their is a special Pall(blanket) that is draped over the body, a candle is lit and staff go with the family to the front door. (This is of course with permission of the family). This provides closure for the staff & extra support for the families. ( I will check for details & find out how this came about if anyone is interested.)
