The Cuddle Blanket: A Compassionate Option for Home Funerals And Family Led Death Care

Grief is a deeply personal journey, and when the time comes to say goodbye to a loved one, many families wish for a peaceful, intimate, and dignified farewell. The Cooling Cuddle Blanket offers a compassionate solution, allowing families to keep their loved ones at home for longer during this vulnerable time. It is an important tool that provides peace of mind, comfort, and support, particularly for those considering a home funeral or wanting to avoid the need for immediate transfer to a funeral home.

What is the Cooling Cuddle Blanket?

The Cooling Cuddle Blanket is a specially designed, temperature-controlled blanket that helps preserve the body of a deceased loved one. It works by gently cooling the body to a natural, safe temperature, preventing the changes that typically happen when someone passes. This means families can keep their loved one at home, in a peaceful and respectful setting, for longer before any transfer is needed.

By using the Cuddle Blanket, families can ensure that their loved one remains dignified and well cared for, avoiding the emotional and financial strain of rushing to send their loved one to a funeral home.

Why is the Cooling Blanket Important for Families?

This tool is an absolute game-changer for families who wish to take control of the end-of-life process and say their final goodbyes in the comfort of their home. With the Cooling Cuddle Blanket, families do not need to rush the process or make hasty decisions out of stress. Instead, they can focus on their grief and celebrate their loved one’s life without the pressure of immediate action.

Time to Grieve at Home: The Cuddle Blanket allows for more time at home with your loved one, meaning you do not need to send them to a funeral home straight away.
Reduce Emotional Stress: By having the option to keep your loved one at home, you can avoid the additional emotional burden of a rushed, impersonal transfer.
More Time with Family: The blanket provides families with the time they need to gather together, hold a vigil, say final goodbyes, or simply spend more time with their loved one in a space that feels comforting.

Save Time and Money

Sending a loved one directly to a funeral home can be a costly and rushed process. The Cooling Cuddle Blanket allows you to keep your loved one at home for longer, which can save you both time and money. You can avoid the need for expensive immediate transport, embalming, or unnecessary funeral services before you're ready.

It also allows you to take your time to plan a more personal and meaningful farewell. You can organize a home funeral, which may be less expensive than traditional funeral home services.

How I Can Assist with Home Funerals

As an End-of-Life Doula, I offer home funeral support to help families through this process. This includes assisting with the setup of the Cooling Cuddle Blanket, providing guidance on how to care for your loved one at home, and offering support with any necessary arrangements.

My services include:

Setting up the Cooling Cuddle Blanket in your home

Helping you create a space where you can mourn, remember, and celebrate your loved one without feeling rushed or overwhelmed

Pricing & Fees

The Cooling Cuddle Blanket is available for families at a nominal fee to cover the costs of its setup and usage. I aim to keep this affordable and accessible to the community, so you can focus on what matters most—being with your loved one during this important time.

Fees for setup and use of the blanket:

Cooling Blanket Rental & Setup: $200 for a 3-day period (additional days available for a small fee)
Home Funeral Support: $150 per hour for guidance, setup, and support.

These fees cover the costs of the blanket, setup, and the time I spend assisting you. My goal is to make this as accessible as possible to families who wish to care for their loved ones at home.

In the Future

As this service grows, I am committed to being available to personally show facilities where the Cooling Cuddle Blanket can be set up. I will be offering in-person consultations to ensure families feel comfortable and supported throughout the process.

A Special Thanks

I am incredibly grateful to have been able to offer this service thanks to the generous $7500 grant awarded by Business Women Albury Wodonga. This grant has made it possible for me to provide this important service to our community, and I am truly honoured to be able to support families in this way.
