Rose Cottage

The euphemisms “Rose Cottage” and “Rainbow's End” are sometimes used in British hospitals to enable discussions about death in front of patients. The name Rose Cottage was adopted so that announcements concerning the morgue can be made over the tannoy without upsetting anyone

Tannoy announcer: "Can a hospital porter please go to bed 10 on Ward B. Cyril Jarvis needs to be taken to Rose Cottage, thank you."
