“Have you ever attended a funeral that included a viewing of the open casket? What is one of the most frequently heard comments after the viewing? ‘Didn’t he look good?’ I almost always silently scream, ‘No he didn’t. He is dead. Dead does not have anything to do with looking good.’ I suppose the comment is a compliment to the mortician and his staff for their talents in making the corpse look good. Yet that’s exactly what many religious authorities do, make spiritually dead bodies look good by the cosmetic application of physical, external devices.”
