    You can’t have a visitation with someone who has been cremated? Are you positive thats not a state specific thing?

    Maybe there is something else you can call it? It just surprises me because my grandmother and an uncle where both cremated, and we had services. I thought they were visitations.

      I think they meant she wanted her body to be seen before cremation, and the funeral home wouldn’t do that without embalming her.

        because the funereal business is a sham.

        can’t have y without x and if you get x you need z. we’ve conveniently packaged it together in our x-z package for a low cost of $6999. isn’t this what the dearly departed would want from you? don’t they deserve the best??

        and that’s why I’m a complete fucking asshole. I don’t deserve the best. I deserve to rot in a culvert on the outskirts of the airport.
