grave blanket

Burial plot decoration

A grave blanket is a flat evergreen arrangement placed on a grave, typically during winter months when snow would cover traditional flowers.

Made from pine, cedar, or fir boughs woven into a rectangular blanket shape, it covers the grave like bedding: We put a grave blanket on Grandma's plot before Thanksgiving.

Often decorated with pinecones, ribbons, or small ornaments.
