I think the whole open casket practice is morbid. Me? I am being cremated and put in a urn replica of the Stanley Cup and having a party.

i believe, if your going to be on display after death you should be dressed the way you dressed everyday, if your a t-shirt and jeans kinda person then you will look good on display with that after death.
i never had a suit and tie on in my life and i couldn't stand the thoughts i having one on in death.

myself, i will be cremated. so you butt holes wont have me in the pics section!

You make a good point fudpucker.
I myself have been a machine repairman all my adult life.
Both at work and at home I am more of a blue jeans and flanel shrit guy.
I have never worked a shirt and tie job in my life
and I damn sure don't want to spend forever buried in a dress shrit and tie.
Bury me in jeans, flanel shrit with the sleeves rolled up and make damn sure they bury me in my work boots.
My son already knows to slip a bottle of Bushmills in the box with me.LOL

Now as for your plan of cremation keeping your image off this site when the time comes dont count on it Viking will get a pic of you he gets everybodys pic eventually. LOL

somtimes seeing that person dead in the coffin makes it "real" & helps some loved ones cope.

my brother died of a self inflicted gunshot - been hawking to see if the csi leaked his photos to this site forever. but anyway - If I didn't see him dead in his coffin a small part of my mind would never believe he's gone. that weird denial phase would be excruciatingly longer.

Lets just call that my final post shall we.
Oh and Viking no worries my friend I am having some very specail shots taken for you my sick little friend.

Now all kidding aside I do not know if I want an open casket viewing for my familly and friends.
I hate the fact that many times the way you are remebered after death by friends and familly is how you looked in that box .
I would much rather not have a viewing or have a closed casket with just a photo of myself on it so people remeber me as I was in life not in death.
