This Innovative Product Is Helping Us Do Death Care Better

Cuddle Cots and Cuddle Blankets allow families to spend more time with a loved one after a death,  providing an opportunity for end of life workers to do death care better.  Danielle Franck of Flexmort shares her personal experience with a Cuddle Cot in this interview.  *Warning - This episode contains a description of the loss of a stillborn infant. It may not be for all listeners. Please take care of yourself. Danielle is the Business Development Executive of the US at Flexmort, a company that designs and manufactures flexible mortuary solutions for the storage and cooling of a body after death occurs.  She is passionate about fostering open discussions around death and loss.  Danielle’s personal story is a testimonial to the benefits of utilizing a Cuddle Cot.  Cuddle Cots and Cuddle Blankets keep a body cool after death, enabling families to spend additional time with a loved one.  That extra time creates space for meaningful goodbyes, rituals, and post mortem care that supports a healthy grieving process.  The Cuddle Blankets are portable and can be used when a home funeral is planned.  It’s also a great tool to use when there’s a plan for human composting or aquamation, and eliminates the need for dry ice when a family doesn’t want embalming.  A personal quilt or blanket can be placed on top of the Cuddle Blanket to create a personal touch.  Connect with Flexmort: https://cuddlecot.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/flexmort/ https://www.instagram.com/cuddlecot_/ https://www.facebook.com/CuddleCotTM Thank you to our series sponsor The Death Deck!   Connect with the End of Life Deck and the Death Deck: Website:  thedeathdeck.comhttps://thedeathdeck.com/ Shop:  End of Life Deck   Death Deck Socials for the Death Deck:  Facebook   IG   Twitter (X) Interested in purchasing a GrandPad to stay connected with a senior loved one?   Get more information at https://www.grandpad.net/thoh.
