Attended the funeral of a good neighbor today. He had a full life, family man, devoted husband, cantankerous, good sense of humor and liked making candy. I want to remember him alive.
I stayed at the back of the viewing. For some reason, emotionally, viewings creep me out more and more. I get this sense of doom at them and they just seem weird to me. The deceased do not look good to me. They look dead. I don't want to look at death.
With all our technology, maybe a multimedia show depicting the image, video clips, voice, personal effects of the deceased, would be more enriching. Like those wedding videos.
