Is it really any creepier than “posing” the deceased in a box with their heads on a small silk pillow and their hands folded?
I am one of those that believes when they pass on they are gone. The body is only a vessel. I have planned and paid for many funerals in our family. My instructions are.......absolutely no embalming, no viewing, closed casket with a blown up pic on a stand next to it, graveside. I want everyone to remember them alive, not laying in a casket dead.
That’s just me.
