Saying Goodbye To A Loved One Family members may wish to view their loved one. This can be done in a privately or publicly. Viewing can be a healthy step toward the resolution of grief. It can be helpful in accepting the fact that death has occurred, especially to the immediate family. Each family member's viewpoint on viewing may be different. Leaving the option of viewing open to an individual's own emotional needs is in most cases the most favorable response to viewing the deceased.Prior to or shortly after death some people may be adamant that they do not wish to view the deceased, then change their mind a short time later. By presenting the option of viewing, all family member's individual emotional needs can be met. Letters, cards, photographs, flowers or special mementos may be placed in the coffin with the deceased at this time. Where to View The viewing is usually held in the funeral director's premises. However, it may be held in a church or in the family home. Viewing in the family home has the advantage of not being restricted to a set time period, and the deceased often remains in the home overnight, usually the day before the funeral.
