open-casket funeral

An open-casket funeral is a memorial service where the deceased person's body is displayed in an open coffin. It allows family and friends to view and pay their respects to the deceased, providing an opportunity for closure and farewell. The practice can honor cultural or personal preferences for a more tangible farewell, offering comfort through the ability to see, touch, or simply acknowledge the person one last time. Typically, the body is prepared and arranged in a way that maintains dignity and respects the individual's memory.
