What Is a Grave Blanket?
A grave blanket is a handmade or commercially made
evergreen arrangement that covers the ground of the grave. They are made of
evergreen boughs and can be decorated with ribbons, bows, flowers, pine cones or
baby's breath and are available in a variety of styles and sizes. Grave
blankets are most often found in colder, northern regions of the country where
traditional flower arrangements would not withstand the cold temperatures or
snow. There are many reasons why grave blankets are placed on the graves of
loved ones. The symbolic meaning is that the blanket will keep your deceased
loved one warm for winter. Another reason is to honor and remember your beloved
family member or friend.
