[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It's religion specific. [/b]In Judaism I have never once seen or heard of anyone having an open casket.[/quote] No, there is nothing in Christianity that says we need to look at the dead person's face during their funeral. It's a recent invention by funeral homes in the west. One side of my family is Japanese. The Japanese Buddhist tradition after the partial cremation is to use a ceremonial pair of chopsticks to select the larger bones that haven't been turned into dust and placing them reverently in a funeral urn. I did this for my grandfather. Between the two traditions, I find picking out bones infinitely less disturbing than looking at an embalmed person's face!!!!!! [/quote]
