"There is no official flag-folding ceremony and there is no official meaning to each of the folds. ... [See here] several suggested scripts to be used during Flag-Folding Ceremonies.
From https://www.ushistory.org/betsy/more/folds.htm: "The folding of the U.S. flag during ceremonial occasions, such as military funerals, is a deeply symbolic act, with each of the 13 folds traditionally holding specific meanings. While these meanings are not officially codified by the U.S. government or military, they have become part of a widely recognized and respected tradition."
