My immediate family leans toward the cremation followed by memorial service school of thought so we haven't had many open caskets, but they are pretty commonplace. Odd to go to visitation to support friends and see their parent for the first time, dead and laid out as if sleeping in their Sunday best.KarenDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022790587742613590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7746553399882944747.post-59865880022499176692011-07-07T13:50:58.789+01:002011-07-07T13:50:58.789+01:00I think it is more to make the body look normal th...I think it is more to make the body look normal than particularly spackled - I imagine the grey skin/blue lips look is a tad unnerving...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779677311425642957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7746553399882944747.post-40981395964790395602011-07-06T19:15:02.168+01:002011-07-06T19:15:02.168+01:00What a beautiful image, it's stunning.
It'...What a beautiful image, it's stunning.<br />It's a Black Country tradition to have the coffin spend the night at home with the lid propped open for everyone to view the body but something I've always declined.<br />A teenage lad drowned on the beach in Goa last year and after his body was recovered it was left on the beach whilst all the locals came down and took pictures. Indians really do see death differently to Westerners. xVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.com
