[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve only been to one viewing/open casket affair, and I definitely see the appeal.  The person you are mourning is right there as if sleeping peacefully.  It’s very real.  Not as real as when you’re designated to hold a pet in your arms when it’s put down, but real.  Shirking from real is a huge part of what’s wrong with us as a society.  It’s what causes some children of elderly parents to violate the golden rule and warehouse them in environments that they themselves would never be happy and then barely visit them.  So F’ed up.[/quote]

Exactly this. Supposed grown adults are now “uncomfortable,” find it “creepy.”  Grow up. [b]You do realize you’ll be in that box yourself one day, right?[/b]

OP it is based in the concept that our earthly bodies are no longer needed. From ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

Perhaps your life would be more “comfortable” if you actually face and accept this basic premise. [/quote]

Nope. Donating my body for research. They return the remains cremated.

Meanwhile, you plan to be ensconced in a box of some kind. Now who’s accepting basic premises?[/quote]
