Grave Blankets normally refer to large greenery squares that are placed on graves during the winter. They can include decorative ribbons and ornaments. Most cemeteries only allow them in the winter when they don't have to mow.

It is those crafting things they put on top of a grave site they are usually made of pine trees and have bows and decorations on them. some people think it keeps the snow off from their dead loved one and some think it will keep them warmer, some people like them b/c the look nice and it is a way of remembering their loved one.
