[Finer Woman10-A-91]

You know death is one of those things we just take for granted. We know our time here is borrowed. But we are so afraid. I am forever haunted by last images of dear friends and family lying in their caskets...and that's just not the image of who they were to me. I am sure this image of the departed is a lot more settling ...seeing him as he was in life...and will in effect make the grieving process easier on those he left behind.

I really think its incredibly thoughtful of his family and friends to have him in his most favorite state amongst his favorite things. I know in some cultures its common practice to send out to sea momentos of one's favorite things and to bury the deceased with their favorite things as well.
