There was a church Mass (with the coffin) before the body was brought to the house and displayed in the open coffin, constantly attended. For two days hundreds of people came all day and evening to say goodbye to him and pay their respects to the family. They were all offered food and drink ( much of which they had brought, there was a stream of people delivering home-made food to the back door of the farm before presenting themselves at the front door for the formal visitation Each night the body was in the house, family members sat up all night with it. Finally the coffin was closed and taken back to church for the funeral and burial. Janet UK |

Everyone was dressed in black and he was dressed in white. It was a roaring party and he got to hear what everyone would say. I did not like the idea though since he was perfectly healthy at the time and I thought it was bad luck, but that's maybe just me. Cheri |

When my Mom passed, my Sister pulled out her iphone and started snapping photos. It freaked me out. I screamed at my Sister. Do you really think Mom would want you photographing her in this condition? Some people have a brain that wishes to record visual reminders of the saddest moments in their life. Never mind they saw it with their eyes and commited it to memory. It really disgusts me to see how some people make videos in the funeral parlor. Sick minds as far as I am concerned. William |

I told my lawyer to put "a sack will do" in the document and although she agreed with my sentiment, she didn't think it would pass:-) Graham |
