The lavender flower is well-known in aroma. This flower was placed close to the coffin at funerals in order to hide the body's smell. In the past, ladies would beat their freshly washed laundry with the branches of the plant in order to transfer the wonderful smell of the flower onto their clothing. 'Lay someone out in lavender' was meant to beat a person until he became unconscious. The beating became more verbal than physical with the passage of time.
