I too think it is a wonderful idea. My sister died on 9/27 and SIL on 9/30 (been a hard couple of weeks) My sister donated her body but we had a memorial service and we had her favorite quilt on display with pictures all around it on a bookshelf. My SIL had a store bought throw that she loved to cover with in her recliner that said "Live, Love, Laugh" draped on her casket and her rosary and a red rose in her hand. When they closed the casket they put the throw in with her.
