[quote=Anonymous]After my mom was wrecked with cancer, we did not embalm and did not do open casket. It was met with no small number of requests to go back in the back of the funeral home and have a special look--relatives who insisted they couldn't say goodbye without staring at her corpse. I've thought for a long time that it is weirdly gawky--would rather remember them alive and thriving than stuffed in a box with makeup on (20 years later the first thought of my uncle are his levitating hands perched above his stomach like a mannequin). People so uncomfortable with their own mortality have a lot of weird rituals. [/quote]
