Life is as meaningful as the memories each individual create. Each day, things change, things are gained, and things are lost. It is also inevitable that there will come a time when life would have to come to an end.
For patriotic individuals, the end of a life does not mean that he would be forgotten. A burial would be good for the body which has been laid to rest, but the honor and pride may be embodied within the flag that would be draped over the casket during mourning.
And as the burial should take place, the honor of being draped over by the flag should justify its purpose of honoring the departed. In this case, the flag therefore should be kept clean and prim, and should then now be placed in a flag case for safekeeping.
Those who are left behind would be the ones to accept the folded up flags kept in a simple or grand flag case. If there are medals or ribbons awarded posthumously, these may be included in the casing so, long as the flag case accommodates it.
Usually, those who die in the line of duty get this honor of having the casket draped over with a nation’s flag. Government officials also get this kind of treatment of honoring them, but this does not stop ordinary citizens of being treated in the same manner, so long as the departed has been a proper citizen.

Just as the body is kept with pride in a casket, the flag that covers it should be kept in a flag case for proper keeping of memories and honor.
