By using favourite clothes from themselves and loved ones, the old tradition of making a death shroud was brought to life again. In cooperation with Susanne Duijvestsein, https://bijafscheid.com/, meaningful and personal pieces were created. Jewelry and dried flowers were added to personal textile items.
