closed-casket funeral

closed-casket funeral

A funeral service at which the coffin is closed. I know you want to have a closed-casket funeral for Aunt Mona, but her friends may want to see her one last time when they come to say goodbye. I'm definitely having a closed-casket funeral—seeing the corpse at a funeral service is freaky!
