What is the proper way to place a funeral pall?

A coffin pall can vary in type, style and meaning. Some are adorned with symbols, such as a crucifix, a veterans honour, etc., or may be a national flag. In this description, imagine standing at the foot of the coffin, with the deceased's head pointing towards the altar. If you were placing a flag, such as the Union Jack, as the pall atop the coffin, the top of the flag would be draping over the right side of the coffin. The bottom of the flag would be draping over the left side of the coffin. Imagining as an example, an american flag, the stars on the flag would be at the top, right-hand, side of the coffin, and the stripes would run the length of the coffin from top to bottom. If you were placing a pall which has embroidery of a crucifix, etc., the top of the crucifix would be atop the coffin, with the bottom of the crucifix facing towards you (the foot) of the coffin and the transept of the cross being at the head of the coffin. A non-quadrilateral, or smaller flag, such as the Nepalese flag, would be displayed with the top of the flag facing towards the head of the coffin and bottom towards the foot. The flag which may contain grommets for flying, would be over the left side of the coffin.
