This is a funeral where the casket is open for viewing of the deceased by the mourners. It is a common type of funeral, but some families prefer that the casket be closed instead.
The best type of casket is one which matches the personality of the deceased, expresses the feelings of the mourners and fits the budget of those who have to pay for it.
