It is somewhat in between the closed casket ( no visible body) and the open variety. In some cases, special display caskets- the burial proper is in a more modest type- are used for this- the effect somewhat resembles a Museum display case- which has the same functions of keeping the exhibit safe and forestalling monkey business. in some cases the type of Glass used may actually be deliberately designed ( like a one-way mirror) to permit full visual contact with the corpse- but forestall Photography. special types of glass are needed for this. By the way Judy Garland was waked (Under Glass).
