wouldn't people be better served if corpses were buried naked so the less fortunate could have the cloths. they're just being thrown away anyway.

That's why I'm being cremated. It is wasteful, and unless you've picked out the outfit yourself, someone will without a doubt get it wrong, and you'll be there for all eternity in the outfit that made your butt look too big!

true, but people feel better knowing that their loved one is at least clothed when they're in the ground, rather than naked... plus, open casket services would be a LOT weirder with a nude corpse present...

Better yet, every corpse should be cremated, thus saving the clothing and the unnecessary land use, too.

Dear Stuie.
Save your cloths for cleaning. Oh, clothes! Well Stuie you are Right! There are some religions that use a shroud.

It is normal for an open casket, so why not look your best.
Richard Burton, was dressed (at his request) entirely in red, showing his links with Wales, so pride in your country must be a factor as well.

People can well afford clothes for the dead.

it's one outfit out of their wardrobe. the rest can be donated...
plus can you imagine an open casket?

It's disrespectful to the dead.
