We don’t mainly do it that way. I’ve only been to one open casket funeral in my life out of 10+ funerals tbh. It was weird


Just about completely opposite from me. Where do you live?

middle TN currently. grew up outside of Memphis

My mother is from Baton Rouge. When my grandmother died, there was a point of contention about open/closed casket. Mom and my aunt shut it down and made sure it was closed. Some of the older folks were saying they wanted to see her as she was. We were all like, "she looks dead. We don't want our last memory of her to be that."

Only open casket funeral I've been to was a close friend of mine who died in a car wreck in college. Visitation had his parents right by the open casket. It was unsettling
