You answered your own question, if the casket is closed- there is no viewing, so no need to cosmeticize the remains, apart from health considerations- he or she would be embalmed, and one hopes, dressed. as the legal phrase goes- this case is closed. a photograph of the deceased- say good portrait head-shot ( no pun intended) should be prominently displayed to show what the deceased looked like in life!

Who took Whitney Houston's picture in her casket?

At this point, we do not have that information. The unauthorized photo, which appeared in the tabloid publication "The National Enquirer," was said to have been taken at the funeral home at a time before the closed-casket funeral; if that is so, the Enquirer may have paid someone at the funeral home to leak a copy of the photo. But on the other hand, Whitney's family has not publicly said this was in fact a photo of her, and the photo may have been digitally altered.


Did they have an open casket at Whitney Houston viewing If so can you see her?

Her family decided to have a closed casket. There was one unauthorized photo that was in a tabloid, but there is no way of knowing if it was an actual photo of her or if it had been digitally altered. Either way, the funeral itself had a closed casket, and then she was buried the next day. Thus, you probably cannot see her. However, you can remember her for her music, and there are many available photos online from various times during her career.
