When mom died we used the last quilt that she'd finished as a table cover on the memorial table of pictures, when daddy got killed 5 months to the day later we used the same quilt for the same purpose. Daddy was a veteran so he had a flag on his casket but he was also a farmer so we had bushel baskets with live stalks of corn and soy beans at each end of his casket. It was a beautiful and very fitting ceremony. I think that people today are customizing funerals more and more to fit the loved one. Thankfully we're no longer bound by traditional flowers, music, etc. What could be more appropriate for a quilter than to be under, for one last time, a beautiful quilt?
