VIEWING THE DEAD!
If you knew the deceased before they died, you do not need to view the deceased’s corpse.
If you did not respect the deceased while they were alive, are you respecting the deceased’s corpse, or do you want to ensure that the deceased is dead?
If the idea of viewing the dead is to honor them, viewing the coffin of the deceased shall accomplish the same purpose.
The only useful or useless purpose served by viewing a corpse is to confirm that your enemy or friend is actually dead.
Some viewers actually pinch the corpse to elicit a reaction, and no reaction confirms that your friend or enemy is deceased.
Now, you understand why some deceased do not want an open casket at the viewing celebration of their death.
