folded flags
Triangular burial honors
Folded flags are American flags ceremonially folded into triangles, most often presented to families of deceased military veterans at funerals.
The precise thirteen-fold method leaves only the blue field visible, creating a compact triangular shape.
These flags carry deep symbolic weight and are typically displayed in memorial cases: Her grandfather's folded flag sits on the mantle.
The image evokes military service, sacrifice, and loss.
