Our quilting group got a request from a local nursing home for a couple of cot sized quilts to cover the deceased (ensconced in body bags). Often, before transport by funeral home can be arranged, a gurney must must go into the hallway , as the rooms themselves need clearing and thorough cleaning for one of the many on a waiting list for residency. I call these " dignity quilts". Since they have been in use, staff got very possitive feedback from the residents who need to pass by a parked cot on their way to somewhere else in the home.
