I don't particularly mind open casket, though I don't know how I'd feel if it was someone I was close to. The only funeral I can remember being at clearly was about 3 years ago--a classmate of mine (4-year senior) was killed in a car accident. I didn't know him that well, despite being a classmate for 4 years (I was a loner of sorts), so I mostly felt this sense of detachment--but ended up crying in a friend's car after the funeral for two hours about something trivial, so I guess I was affected. Anyway, to see him was just weird--waxy looking, pale, didn't look *quite* like he should. But I didn't have a serious problem with it or anything.
