Jack of the Dead Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Oh man, where was I when this started. GRAVEDIGGER INSIGHT TIME: In America, we have this process called embalming. If you're getting buried in the standard way, this is what must be done. (not clothed for this portion) People who are put directly in the ground do not have to go through this process. (there have been cases where some funeral homes are complete assholes about closed casket services and don't do anything to the body except throw em in the casket. this is why i am having an open casket for any of my family members) it is my understanding that the clothing is also required for most middle eastern nations. In the Muslim funerals that i have been a part of, the people where always clothed. I know that many cultures somehow wrap the dead before burial. as for cremation, depending on the service, they burn them in whatever they are wearing. if the family has special requests (ie. special dice set, family bible, specific jewelry, etc) that goes with them as well. the only documented cases i have seen of no clothes on the dead were mass graves in fascist dominated societies. (of course I'm not overly familiar with most Asian burial customs.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
