Flag draping is a ceremonial practice where a flag is placed over a casket or memorial to honor a deceased individual, often a veteran or public figure. This act symbolizes respect and recognition for their service or contributions to the nation. The flag is typically displayed in a specific manner, ensuring that it is treated with dignity throughout the ceremony. During a military funeral, the flag draping serves as a poignant reminder of the individual's sacrifices. After the service, the flag is usually folded in a precise triangular shape and presented to the family as a token of gratitude and remembrance.
