[quote=Anonymous]In the midwest this is routine--that's why people refer to the service the day before the actual service as the "viewing" in those parts (Lutherans don't call it a wake). All the time I was growing up people took photos of the person in the casket. When my dad died suddenly (heart attack) my mom struggled with what to do, she ended up doing a casket for the service because everyone would want to see how he looked. She told us we could go ahead and just cremate her and we asked if she wanted us to tell the neighbors she looked really good or if she looked terrible and it was a blessing(yes, she laughed). Fading now, though, and cremation is a lot more common. [/quote]
