Q: When I (fairly frequently) see the pall “pre-arranged,” covering about 90% of the casket, with the presider then just pulling down the front flap during the liturgy – that doesn’t set well with me either…comment?

A: OCF 161 makes it optional and permits family members, friends or the priest to place it over the casket after the casket has been sprinkled. Pre-arranging the pall so the presider pulls down the front flap does not seem consistent with these directives.
