GREAT IDEA!!!! I will have a closed casket because I don't want anyone saying "Boy, she really was the ugliest one of the three!!!!!!!" I don't have time to tell the story behind this but two people said it to my face that I wasn't as pretty as my sisters. Thanks for listening to me!!!!!!

I have spent the last few days with Grandma who is dying. She has talked about her pillows that she has made and I was thinking it would be nice to have one in the casket with her. Now I just have to convince the family of this. There are 7 grandkids and coming to a concensus could be difficult.

I had made a lap quilt for my MIL out of an AMAZING GRACE PANEL( she called herslf that & her name was GRACE) I was surprised when my husband wanted it in the casket. I was EVEN more surprised, when my daughter in her 20's ask if she could keep it as a momento! If you notice more & more florist, ect are carrying woven throws for funerals,ect

But I really do like the idea for those who will use a casket.
We have all seen posts on this board, "Support your LQS" My daughter works part time for a florist. She would say,
"Support your Local Florist" Just a thought.
