I attended the funeral of a good neighbor, today. He was a family man and devoted husband who had experienced a full life. He displayed cantankerousness and also a good sense of humor, and he 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 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, voice, personal effects and video clips of the deceased would be more enriching (like those wedding videos).
