no...but my best friend said in response to another thread on here re: what to do with our fabric stashes when we die ...

"i am taking it with me!! gonna pull out the casket lining and fill the casket with my fabric stash...all around me!!"

That coffin is so pretty. I have often thought that some quilters might want a pretty quilt to put over the lower half of the coffin instead of flowers. I think its a good idea.

I have a burial policy that will take care of ALL expenses for my funeral except flowers. As many of you have stated I have also told my daughters that I don't want flowers. Bring all my floral applique quilts and hang them around the room. I think anything that makes a funeral easier for your family and friends is a real plus. We had flower arranges in my Dad's cowboy boots and in my grandsons new dump truck that he had just received for Christmas.

My MIL is currently in hospice, she has been a long time quilter, at her visitation, her quilts will be on display. We can't think of a nicer way to honor her.

That is a pretty casket with the quilt addition. Do you know the casket manufacturer? ...or if not, the funeral home?

Thank you,

Murray

That is a nice touch.

I think it's awesome and looks like it would be comforting...especially to a quilter who has gone to Heaven!
What a great idea!

Yes, I like that idea. If I wasn't going to be cremated, I would love to be wrapped in a quilt in my casket.
