[quote=Anonymous]No. I was forced to view my dead mother, and the image haunts me. There was no reason for that: I knew she was dead and not coming back, and while relatives kept blabbering about “closure”, that isn’t what I got from the experience. It was like a horror moving made real and I hate that I have had that image of my mom in my head for the past thirty years. I don’t understand the purpose of viewing dead bodies, I really don’t. I firmly believe that the majority of people who view dead bodies at funerals have some subconscious prurient fascination with seeing the person that way. I hated overhearing my friends’ parents and my mom’s brothers’ spouses gossiping about my mom’s appearance in the casket. Barbaric, hideous custom. Don’t even get me started on the brutality of what is done to bodies to make them viewable. [/quote]
