My friend died recently so I've been thinking a lot about what happens after we die.
I hate to sound shallow, but is it necessary to re-dress the body or for makeup to be applied? I don't want anything like that when I die. I'm paranoid enough in life about people looking at me, I wouldn't want anyone to have to look too closely at my corpse, nevermind my naked corpse. That's one of my fears of dying, people seeing me like that.
Can you be cremated exactly as you died, same clothes, same makeup? And not let any family or friends view your body?
What happens during embalming? Is it neccessary? Do they have to undress the body?
Maybe I've been thinking into things too deeply, but I'd like to know.
