Winnipeg Alternative Funeral Home Creates Dignity Quilt To Help Soften The Harshness Of Death Winnipeg Canada – Alterna Cremation, a new alternative funeral provider based in Winnipeg Canada, is pleased to announce their latest project, a handmade dignity quilt. One of the most frequent calls that Alterna Cremation receives is to attend a nursing home, to collect the body of someone who has recently passed. Apart from the pain and sorrow caused by the death of a friend or loved one, the sight of a mortuary cot and body bag can cause fear and distress amongst the other residents of the facility. Ashley Newton, owner operator of Alterna Cremation, wanted find some way to at least soften the harsh reality of the situation. Ashley approached her mother in law Leone, who is a quilter extraordinaire. Having appreciated the comfort that a handmade quilt offers, Ashley thought of a dignity quilt. She asked her mum if she could create one and with a lot of love, thought and dedication, the Alterna Cremation dignity quilt was created.
