Had this conversation recently when my wife died. She wanted to be cremated with no embalming but wanted a visitation. In the US you have to be embalmed to have a visitation. No amount of pleading to just put her in an ice bath would work sadly.
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.
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.
People are so toxic that they want to be toxic after they die too.
I just want to be dumped off at the landfill or ground up and used for fertilizer after giving up any useful organs.

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.

I mean, sure. You do you.
Yea, this is it. Guess it wasn’t s clear. Visitation and then cremation.
It’s surprisingly difficult to get that treatment.
Just compost me. Throw my body into the green cart. Why do I need to spend so much money?
Just grill me.
god damn that’s a really nice grill.
Even in death we must feed the machine.
