Cross Blankets are a common sight in Christian and Catholic funerals in Singapore. As part of the finishing touches to make the decedent appear dignified, the cross blankets are usually placed on top of the deceased after all other personal items of the decedent has been placed in the coffin. This is especially important for those who choose to have the coffin open for a longer time for people to view, and also for those who choose to have a full glass coffin for the deceased.

For bodies that might not be as presentable but of which families prefer to allow viewing for visitors, this might be a plausible option where the blanket can be used to cover certain areas of the decedent that might not be as presentable for viewing.
