I've been to two funerals in my life along with 3 wakes and the way we reshape, paint and display our dead has always bothered me. The empty vessels sitting still in the caskets, wearing suits they never would have bought, hair done up in a different style and faces covered in makeup they most certainly would never have worn, never brought me much solace or comfort when seeing them.

Interesting...
Well, I must say, this is very original and you are quite right about it being hollow, except for the people who are there to say goodbye. Good line work!
Thanks everyone for your kind words!
