Here, funerals are pretty much the same as the ones Stephanie Plum's granny so loves. It shouldn't be "normal" anywhere. LOL. I'm not having one of those hideous "viewings" and I've told everybody that. If they do it to me anyway, I'll haunt them. I don't understand the point of even being dead if they're going to dress you up, put you in an airtight box, put the box in a waterproof vault, yada yada. They might as well just stuff people and be done with it.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798532682456165053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28555288.post-69524322951744075802007-03-11T14:44:00.000-04:002007-03-11T14:44:00.000-04:00Do people get buried in proper clothes?

Considering how many of my family are dead I am remarkably ignorant about such matters.

Keep the box for one year and, if you never open it to get anything out of it, throw the box away. I have made a box every year since he told me that.
