Mourning and Memorial Bows
Purple and black symbolize mourning among firefighter and police officer communities. Purple represents the safety of our country with law enforcement's protection. Black portrays the mourning for a lost hero. A public display of these colors acknowledges the sacrifice and courage of these individuals who are no longer with us.
During mourning, an officer or firefighter might cover their patch or shield logo with a black stripe. Other traditions to publicly honor a lost life include:
- - Hanging purple and black banners over doorways and signs.
- - Displaying flags on firetrucks for funeral processions.
- - Draping bunting fabric over a casket.
- - Fastening bows on the top of a flagpole.
