You can rent a casket for the viewing. You can purchase a previously rented casket for the burial, at a reduced price.
The only problem I see with this viewing is that they didn’t wrap a skirt around the gurney to conceal the legs. I don’t see anything disrespectful about it. The infighting among family is disrespectful though.
The only fault of the funeral home is not covering up the gurney. They claim the person in charge okayed this set up..it sounds like they didnt want to spend the insurance money on the funeral..while others in the family did
This is a family dispute being taken out on the funeral home.
Georgia does allow rentals..their estimate is $300 to $700...and you can make your own box. They dont even require a box for burial. Its up to the cemetary
