My Viewing

[Brian]

I was asking my wife about this the other night.

Is it possible to get a cool pose in your casket?
Maybe a hand to the chin, as if in thought.
Finger in the nostril.
Eyebrows raised.
Toothy smile.
Sun glasses on, smirk.
Or thought bubble coming out of the head:
"Ha, ha, I can fly around now."
"Stop staring at me."


She said they wired your mouth shut, etc, and it might be a little hard.
Anyone in the know? Or have some good ideas?

As Roy Orbison sang:

"Anything you want; you got it!"

All that has to be done is to set your features and your arms/legs/hands/feet, etc. as you're being embalmed. It's that easy.

For my viewing, I am pulling out the stops and going non-traditional, as usual. I want it to be more like an art exhibit.

I want a viewing-in-the-round, with me sitting on a chair, dressed in a light tunic, posed as Rodin's The Thinker. (If my wife and I die together, then posed jointly as The Kiss).

People can observe me, walk around in 360, take notes or pictures, sketch me, comment both negatively and positively, argue over whether I was overrated or simply misunderstood, etc.

I will also serve light refreshments and cocktails for non-LDS.

Brian, you should tell your wife to wait until your body is good and stiff, and then push your nose up to reenact your 15 seconds of television glory.

That would be a good conversation starter for the folks at your viewing.

You should get yoursefl plasticized like those Bodies exhibits. Then we could put you on display int he park until you started leaking.
