Parie,
Just spoke w/ my hubby on this issue (funeral director) and he said that during the Masonic service each member deposits a piece of evergreen into the casket. The evergreen is an emblem of faith in the immortality of the soul. It symbolizes the newness of life. Not sure if this is what you are looking for but, hopefully it helps.

What Heather said. Any Masons we buried, had casket sprays and the like, but the pass by was to put a piece of green in the casket.
