Perhaps you should reconsider.
Perhaps you will be the only one who would give this “stiff” the last respect he/she craved for.
Perhaps that “stiff” will reciprocate some day when it is your time in the coffin.
Perhaps it will bring you graces and blessings that you never expected to receive.
Perhaps the family should have enough respect for their dead not to put them on view like so much trash.
Perhaps they should have the rspect to give them the tyraditional viewing and prayers they deserve.
I would as soon have my kids just toss my body on the dump as to disrespect me in such a manner.
A body is just an article. There is no life in it., I do not go to the funeral home to see the body ,but to comfort the family. Why should I wish to see a dead friend laid out in a window .
