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.
