I have been working on a cloth by embroidery of several things such as my grand kid's little hand prints from various dates, my favorite flowers and two hearts encircled by hearts representing our kids and grand kids as they arrive. I have told my DH and one of my DDs to place it over me rather than fancy clothes.
I'm also planning on being placed in a simple hand made burial box.
There are two women here in NM that make burial boxes, I plan on calling them to make one for me.
Now, I'll think about using it in place of flowers, instead of taking it with me. Thanks for the idea.
