   Kevink ,

                Here on this site in the gallery I saw a beautiful flag display box . It was a triangle shape and simple but nice . Sorry I don't have the dimensions handy , try a google search on U.S. folded flag dimensions or the likes .

                  regards             dusty

   The dimensions folded depend somewhat on the size of the flag. Any flag can be a memorial flag.  The flag is folded 13 times.

   Thanks for your response. The flag was presented at a National Cemetary. I'm working under the assumption that there is a standard sized memorial flag given at such events.

   Here is a chart of the sizes of flags government agencies are authorized to purchase. The 5'x9.5' would seem to be the best fit for a full size casket. It also seems to be the largest size accomodated by the majority of flag cases on the market.

   Sec. 21. The following sizes of flags are authorized for executive agencies:

   paste the above link to get a plan from Wood Magazine

   they ran the article in the past year if you know anyone who subscribes.
   The plan is $6 but it is stunning.
   The plan is for a 5 x 9 flag.
