re: Open casket funerals are more emotional

We recently buried my grandfather..the open casket portion was for very close family only and was closed before others were permitted in. I was really happy we did it that way...he wasted away toward the end. He was a proud man and I know he wouldn't have been wanted to be seen that way... that said it probably did offer certain closure for us that a closed box wouldn't have

This was actually the one upside of the open casket--but my dad had been sick for a while and his passing wasn't a shock at all, so I think we already had our "closure". I could have done without EMS showing up to the funeral home
