[QUOTE="Malika, post: 539945, member: 11227"] Ah, yes, perhaps that is the difference. In the States, the body is [I]embalmed[/I] and the visitation takes place in a funeral home. Do you know Jessica Mitford's "The American Way of Death" in the States? Or Evelyn Waugh's "The Loved One"? Both satires about the expense of funerals in America and the manipulation of the funeral business. Both these are old books, written in the 1940s and 1960s, so I don't know how things stand now.
