I made a reversible one 2 yrs ago. Had female side and male side implied. For me the understanding was the
funeral director uses it to cover the body bag when bringing body from a private home to the auto or in our local area
where they have to walk down a hall and the other residents get to see a quilt covering the deceased rather than bag
which I am told can upset some of them very much. The quilt is kept by mortuary so no family squabbles .
I was pleased to donate the quilt -sizes given to me to be sure to cover guerney but not drag. Used here for a female neighbor and have heard some happy results in other cities. My friend told me about them because she saw
one elderly man walk to her brothers bag and say goodbye to him. The caregivers said usually the clients are
upset and restless after a death but not if they see the quilt. I think it helps pay respect.
