"From what I understand some of her family was none to happy about it...I just worry about the internet ...it seems to take away common sense sometimes.."
yes, of course it does, people do things now,over the internet that they never would have done..it does get out of hand.
but like i said..it is an old custom..my grandmothers house had "the room" where the dead were kept..at the home, i can not for the life of me remember what that room was called..but it was in the front of the house..
i want to be laid out 1 day, and on my side like i sleep..
funerals are for the living, not the dead... just my opinion and thoughts on the subject..
