It obviously was the request of the family of the deceased to have an open casket, the funeral home employees did their best to make something look more like a body but there really is not much to do if only part of the deceased is available.

This review of a funeral home in Texas discusses the funeral home’s decision not to allow families to place fresh flowers on the grave and to add a charge if the funeral home did.Another review said that they thought this funeral home had their hands out for money the minute they walked through the door. This perception harms not just a single funeral home, but public perception of funeral homes and funeral directors in general (which already isn’t the best to begin with). […]
