Can you bury a mother and child in same casket?

Answer 1

Yes, this is often done in the case of Maternity funerals, where both the mother and child die.- this was also done with the tragedy of Sharon Tate, part of the Manson Murders. The child"s body is ( iof course) dressed and is positioned on the mother"s Breast. (They bend her elbow) a Mother and child wake is a uniquely sad and touching experience and is very rare. It does happen, that is how it is done.

Answer 2

If both are deceased. The usual practice for this sad situation is to ( Bury them together- in the same casket) The Child is embalmed and dressed and is wrapped up in the dead mother"s arms. ( they bend her elbow). There is, obviously a large stream of flowers around the dead mother and child. Religious jewelry is on the Mother, such as crosses, rosaries, etc. It is a very rare and tragic event.
