The Parish of Bonne Bay North Prayer Quilt Group was approached by Karen Hynes, Nurse and Patient Care Co-ordinator at the Bonne Bay Health Centre in Norrris Point, to make a Daisy/Dignity quilt for the Health Centre.
The Daisy/Dignity quilt is placed over a deceased person’s remains as they are taken from their hospital room to the hearse on a gurney. With a beautiful quilt (such as the one pictured here) draped over a loved ones remains as they are rolled through the corridors of the hospital to the hearse, the hospital has a way to ensure dignity even in death. The Daisy/Dignity quilts are approximately 56” x 102” to allow them to fall nicely over the remains and the gurney.
