What is the white cap worn at burial by Mormons?

Answer 1

Many devout members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") are buried in their temple clothing. Usually the temple clothing is put on after the open-casket portion of the funeral, but occassionally is put on before. This is because the temple clothing is considered extremely sacred. It is not discussed outside the celestial room of the temple and is not to be seen outside of the temple except in certain cases (like funerals). This cap is a part of the dead person's temple clothing, and Church members would be very offended if it were discussed disrespectfully.
