Shahrivar Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Um, I'm not 100% sure on this topic (as I'm interested into being a mortician, but I am not one), but it should be like that. Actually I'm pretty sure most cultures do it, the body has to be washed and prepared for the funeral, they need to avoid the decay odor, too. I don't know the exact details, but yes.

Chiki Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Ha ha ha what a stupid question. Yes they do. In most cases when you're in the hospital you're already naked under your gown so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constable Reggie Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) It's generally considered an insult in most modern cultures to clothe the dead, since that signifies that cadavers are equally deserving in stature as living people, so bodies are usually buried without clothes. I think that some extremist groups clothe them when they're buried, though. No idea why they would do that.

Pride Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Depends on what we're doing with the bodies ain't much sense in leaving clothes on a body due for cremation any folks what have their bodies presented in a funeral service or procession tend to not only keep their clothes, but be dressed rather nicely generally yes they go down with clothes this is all in a western (ergo US) context of course, I dunno how other cultures handle this why would that bother you though, soul? I'd be more bothered by having my dear old earthly vessel rotting and being eaten away by the worms, probably stuck in a grave lot with someone I never knew Edited May 8, 2013 by Pride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Of course not, they ask you to take them off and put them on the side before you kick the bucket :P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiki Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 When you die in a hospital gown they remove the gown and put you in a morgue. But when you die at home no one has to strip you of your clothes if that isn't what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The removal and washing happens in our culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 When a person dies in the UK we generally have an autopsy done on the body. Can't do that with clothes on. Our funerals are not open casket, either. So yeah, no point in clothing. Some people may choose to be buried with some sort of item (e.g. ring) if they know they're on their way out. I think that's the only exception.

Tao Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I don't think there's anything wrong with removing clothes off a dead body. I mean they're dead... and pretty much for the same reasons as everyone else listed already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkhead Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I find it disrespectful to the person's body reguardless if they are dead. I am an athiest, and even I think so. Then again, I can't say much against it if they have to do an autopsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Alear Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 They can try if they want to but zombie me won't let them. It's not about not showing me naked; I just like wearing clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I can't say much against it if they have to do an autopsy. You can argue about this point,but you should think about the relatives who want to bid farewell (funeral with open casket). To have a clean, reasonable appearence in death seems respectful to me, it's a last service to the deceased. A last service for the final journey.
