QUESTION A:How do you feel about open casket viewings or visitations at funeral homes? Does it bother you to see the decedent or do you feel a more complete sense of closure from it? I feel that if that is what the deceased desired, and the condition of the body allows it, that is fine. I've never been to a funeral so I can't say whether it would give me more closure or not. I lived half way around the world when my Grandmother passed away so I was unable to attend. I believe it would have given me more closure to attend the service, open casket or not. It's been over 16 years since she died and I still miss her, I still feel her watching over me.
