Yes, you are right Rambi ... other people do think about death differently. Seeing someone's body laid out for some folk is a nice way to say goodbye and what you feel, is leaving the bathroom open is more like celebrating all the precious memories for others ... I don't particularly like viewing the deceased, but I'm not squeamish about it either. When my Mom died (I was with her when she died and I can't tell you how much of a sense of relief and true happiness I felt for her ) we decided against it for the very reason you mentioned -- cancer did not make her look any prettier and we had all spent much time with her in that state and wanted to consider other memories, too. I'd say what pleases the immediate family is best ... some want it for closure of some kind. No difference really -- the person is not there -- it is just the old husk ...
