we had a cabinet w small blankets that were used when we had to move a body out.
some came back and some didnt. iirc, family was given an option to keep it.
but we always took a moment as someone was wheeled by, and covered them out of respect.

something w a flag theme is always welcome when a vet passes. i bet colors of local sports teams would be welcome. maybe something pictorial, like animals or flowers. something the family might cherish. something that speaks to the things people love.
