[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 602628, member: 8829"] Here goes Jo Had this all typed and ready to send and the power went out so here goes again As some of you on here know I lost a son 2 1/2 yrs ago he was 18 that was the hardest thing my wife and I have ever been thru and hopefully ever will go thru Here is what we did we had a private veiwing for the family at the funeral home ,The funeral home set it up so we could come as we wanted and they had a list of who could go into the private room (this is because we didn't want everyone making a spectacle out of it) then we had a formal visitation the night before the burial at the funeral home with a closed casket then we had a graveside service at the cemetery This is because I felt going thru a full service and then the burial would be too hard on my wife and daughters .because we had over 500 show up at the visitation alone If I had it to do all over again that is the way I would do it today it is also how I want mine to be done I don't beleive in having an open casket service for everyone I think a veiwing should be for family and a few special friends As in the case of our son, his age and the circumstances of his death I didn't want it to be made into a circus side show . he was killed in an auto accident so people made all kinds of remarks about him being decapitaed and stuff which was a lie.Everyone here who was raised in a small town knows how things get started So I hope this helps Jo [/QUOTE]
