Folded Memorial American Flags and Display Cases

The correct flag for a military funeral and casket draping is the G-SPEC American flag, which meets Federal Specification DDD-F-416 — the U.S. government standard for official flag procurement. It is constructed from heavyweight cotton bunting with sewn and embroidered stars. A standard nylon or polyester flag is not appropriate for a military funeral or casket ceremony.

A G-SPEC flag meets Federal Specification DDD-F-416, the U.S. government standard for official flag procurement. It is made from heavyweight cotton bunting with sewn and embroidered stars, reinforced construction, and specific dimensional tolerances required for military and government use. G-SPEC flags are used for casket draping at veteran funerals, military memorial services, official government ceremonies, and formal folding and presentation to a family.

A standard military funeral flag is a 5x9.5 ft G-SPEC flag folded into the traditional triangular shape. Our veterans flag display cases are sized specifically to hold this standard folded military flag.

Yes. Every G-SPEC flag sold by Tidmore Flags is 100% manufactured in the United States using U.S.-sourced materials and carries a serialized FMAA certification seal verifying genuine domestic production. For a military funeral flag, there is no acceptable substitute for a genuine American-made product. Tidmore Flags has been selling American-made flags since 1963.

The flag is folded lengthwise twice so the stripes are inside, then folded into a series of triangular folds starting from the fly end until only the blue union field shows on the outside, forming a tight triangular shape. The folding is performed by honor guard members and represents a long-standing military tradition. The completed fold fits precisely into a standard veterans flag display case.
