Draping the grave
Open earth at the graveside looks harsh, and at the moment of the farewell it can be hard for the family to look at. Draping settles that quietly: the edges of the grave, the mound of earth and the trestles are covered in plain fabric, and the place of the ceremony looks cared for and dignified.
The fabrics are chosen in restrained tones that suit the moment. We prepare everything before the procession arrives and clear it afterwards.
