I don’t care for funerals in general.

What’s wrong with seeing your loved one one more time before you never see them again? There’s nothing creepy about that.

I can see why it’s off putting just went to one this week closed casket family’s wishes they didn’t want the kids to see him

But I’m so used to them that it doesn’t bother anymore

Bro?

Lol u right i didnt even read the op and subsequent tone of the thread when i posted this ill delete it

LOL you shouldn’t have deleted it it was funny.

only seen 1 and it felt both brutal and profound for some rzn

i don’t think i had seen a dead body in person before that

Damn why have you been to so many if you don't mind me asking

this the kinda threads you used to make bro

movie?

Older family members I suppose and two close friends passed away and my son

Yeah srsly why the hell do I need to traumatize myself more

saw one of my passed away homies caked in makeup. it's how i remember him now. not a fan

But that has nothing to do with seeing the corpse itself. That's just death. To me it sounds like you'd rather not see the corpse because you don't want to confront reality.

Open casket funerals should always be done when possible imo. It gives you mental closure, even more so subconsciously. It's a feeling unlike any other feeling on this Earth and i think everyone should have experienced it at least once in their lives. It forces you to confront your own mortality and kind of gives you a "reality check".

i'm so sorry mane. i hope you had a good day today

Damn I'm sorry to hear that man

I did the feeling still lingers on after years but this was 9 years ago I’m in a much better place now

Life you just have to keep moving on

Edit : but thank you both

Remember seeing my first open casket when I was little. Scared the s*** out of me. Now i understand it

Well I have personal experience with one where the mortician had attempted to reconstruct somebody's nose after a car wreck had destroyed it. It was haunting to say the least. Awful choice in that particular case.

We all gotta see a dead body atleast once in our life to make us feel normal

You're right. Lost a relative at a pretty young age two years ago. It still hurts (some days more so than others) and I always think about him every night as I fall asleep. The past two years felt like 6 months in retrospect. But you gotta keep going man. For them. They wouldn't want you to become a slump.

Glad you're doing better now

I mean you're not wrong?

Idk never really thought about it

The only time I was really unsettled at an open casket was a classmates funeral who had hung himself.

He was obviously covered in makeup but you could still see the blueish / purple hue on his face which was awful

Absolutely keep going fam all we got is their memories and what they leave behind
