Okay. This is a really wild question for me to even ask, but I have to know.
My mother has stated that when she dies she wants to be layed out in her house and she wants my father to build her coffin. She does not want anything fancy. She wants a simple pine coffin. While I would try to make her wishes a reality, I don't think she is living in reality. Well, in fact, I KNOW she isn't living in reality.
First off, my father will be grieving over her death, so why would she think he would want to build her coffin? Secondly, aren't there laws against building your own coffin? Aren't there state standards?
Secondly, can someone be layed out in their house instead of a funeral home? The whole thing seems morbid to me and I'm really uncomfortable with the entire thought.
Please answer the questions to the best of your knowledge please. I already know my mother is unbalanced, so I just need some advice. Thanks for your help.
