Most funeralhomes order special clothing that is cut up the middle in the back. Some families bring the clothes they want the person in, and the funeral home cuts them up the middle in the back.
After the person is laid on the table, they drape the clothes over them, then tuck the rest up under the corpse. Then they put the body in the casket and do the fine tunning, for lack of a better phrase at this moment.
We have put clothes on people that were not cut, but the body was lying flat, not standing up.
that's what i thought. Looks to be a strange way to dress a corpse. Still... Looks rreal to me.
I wear my Sunday best everyday so this process will be eliminated upon my demise..... why make people dress me up when I can do it myself daily then all they have to do is throw me in the cremation furnace! That's using the noggin'!
