When a dear friend passed away, her wishes were to have an extremely simple casket. When it arrived, her children were in some shock at its stark simplicity. They asked for my help. We discussed it and I lined her casket with antique satin and made a quilt out of the same satin, adding wedding lace at the very top for viewing. I also made a pillow for her head. This helped the children and it turned out beautifully. She looked like a bride. Before she was buried, the youngest child took it as his heirloom. And my friend was then wrapped in another cloth for burial.

I never thought of using her wedding dress for the material.

It was not difficult for me to do this (even tho it's a bit unusual) because I knew she was a very special person. Since we did not have any sisters of our own, we adopted each other as our sister. Did we ever have fun until cancer took her life.

Any feedback
