I have prepaid for my funeral, picked out my own casket, etc. I have already told my kids that I would really prefer that the family all bring their favorite quilt I have made for them and display them around the church. I haven't picked out a quilt for my casket cover, any of the ones I have kept for myself would be okay with me, they can make the decision. Although I love flowers, and gardened for many years, I have developed such an attachment to the quilts I have made that I really like this idea. We buried my dad in his western shirt, jeans, and the suede vest that he loved so much and had a lovely flower arrangement in his newest booth sitting at the end of the casket. It just seemed so appropriate and comforting to see him dressed like that. He never wore a suit, ever!
