PURPOSE: To avoid discoloring the front surface of a coffin decorating cover by dew condensed water and imparting a sticky feel thereto without specifically increasing the thickness of this cover.

CONSTITUTION: This coffin decorating cover 14 is formed by laminating a fiber web 13 made of water absorbent polymers 12 having water absorptivity of ≥50 times their own weight on the rear surface of a coffin covering fabric 11 having moisture permeability. The dew condensed water generated in this coffin covering fabric 11 by being cooled dry ice in the coffin and contact with the outdoor air is absorbed by the water absorbent polymers 12 in the fiber web 13 being in contact with the rear surface thereof if the cover is formed in such a manner. Since the water absorbent polymers 12 have the water absorptivity of ≥50 times their own weight, such things that the coffin decorating cover 14 are discolored by wetting with the condensed water generated on the front and rear and that the sticky heel is applied on the cover at the time of carrying of the coffin out of the house do not arise any more even if the cover is rested for several days by putting the cover on the coffin contg. dry ice at the time of a high temp. and high humidity.
