do you have this fear that if you've gone to funerals (wakes) that if you get close to the person lying in the casket that they might open their eyes?

I`ve never seen any dead people except for my mom. And I kept looking at her and HOPED that she`d open her eyes and smile, and I`d realize it was all a BAD DREAM or just my imagination.
So I guess it`s all about how you relate to the dead person and to the situation... If it`s somebody you really cared about, deep down I think you hope that they`d open their eyes....
Or maybe I`m just being weird, dunno!...

I did, when I was very little. Then I came to understand that these bodies are just like a coat. And when we don't need the coat any more, we just slip it off and move on. Now thatI know that, I can go to funerals and wakes and I don't worry about zombies.....

No...I avoid 'open casket' things, because if I care enough to go to someone's funeral, it's because I loved them, and I want to remember them as they WERE, not dead in a box.

No, but that's the reason it's called a "wake". Back in time, sometimes people got buried alive, so they began the practice of holding a wake, just in case the "dead" person would wake up!

No, because I have been told the eyes are sewn shut.
