Quilts instead of flowers at funeral home
#65
We displayed a quilt mother had made with appliqued pigs
on it (her own design & handwork) on top of her casket.
We 4 kids liked the idea & think mother would be/was pleased to have people see it. (she had a collection of pigs)

I went to a funeral servie several ears ago -- the woman was noted for her knittng and they hung some of the aphgans she had made around the sanctuary -- it was a UU church so very plain but for her beautiful workmanship.

My goods friend's daughters pl;aced a thinble on her finger, and one of her quilts across the lower half of the casket. At the reception following the interrment, the whole place was decorated with her quilts. We all really enjoyed reminiscing about watching her make those quilts.

Yes, I have seen it done, one of the ladies I quilted with passed away and she had one on her casket. My daughter knows that is what I want her to do when it's my time. It will be given to her after the service. Lots better than flowers.
