[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks PPs! Op here. I do have another question. I have several friends and DH who are not comfortable as adults with open casket viewing. I don’t want to attribute it to going to numerous funerals, but does that help adults adjust to seeing deceased people? This would be open casket and since the children last saw him he went from stocky about 220lbs to barely 85-90lbs. [/quote] Open casket is such personal family decision . I know it’s tradition for many and have attended many open casket funerals. I’ve always hated them and it has not helped me adjust to anyone’s passing and it’s as if seeing the person that way is etched in stone and I never forget it. However, I respect people making the choice that works for their family. When I attend an open casket service I do my best to avoid going up to the casket. [/quote]
