[QUOTE="witzend, post: 629443, member: 99"] My neighbor lady died after a prolonged illness last year. They had a "visitation" before the service and there was a long line walking up to the open casket and displays of flowers. I will get into the line and breeze past the body with as least of a glance (or none) as I can get by with most of the time. But I realized that they were snaking around to take photos of all the flowers and then of the corpse, sometimes selfies with the corpse. I stepped to the side and went down a side aisle. I really didn't know anyone so I can't say what they did with the photos. I asked another neighbor, and she told me they have "always done it that way." It's tradition around here. FWIW, I live less than 2 miles from the freeway on-ramp, and there are 12 cemeteries on the way. Every gas station and corner store sells "plot flowers" and "eternal flames". It's just a different culture. I'm guessing that this person was brought up in a culture different from yours - and mine. ;) I couldn't give a toss about what is done with my body after I die.
