Unusual quilt display
#61
My husband is retired and works part time for our local funeral home. He has seen this done and our funeral home also uses quilts during the removal of the deceased instead of a plain sheet or those ugly zippered bags. You would not believe how many positive comments they get from the deceased family. It's quite comforting. I had mentioned the quilts being used to my quilt guild and that the quilt the funeral home was using was getting worn. The members decided to make a quilt and donate it for them to use. There are plans for making 2 or 3 more. Here's a picture of the quilt being presented. I'm second from the left.

At one time, my DH said he wanted to be buried in my avatar quilt. He has since said not to bury it with him, just to drape his casket with it instead of flowers. I'm torn--maybe his first request is what he really wants, but he might have thought it was selfish. One of our sons would treasure the quilt that draped his father's casket, I know.
