-
Preparation
We dress the grave before the procession arrives.

After the ceremony
We remove the drapes.
Grave draping
Bare earth at the graveside can look harsh and be difficult for the family to see at the moment of farewell. Draping softens this: the edges of the grave, the mound of earth and the stands are covered with plain fabric, so the ceremony area looks well kept and dignified.
We choose fabrics in muted tones that suit the occasion, set everything up before the procession arrives and clear it away afterwards.
