One day you will die. Sorry, you will. Have you thought about it? Have you thought about the fact that one day your friends and family will gather around your coffin one last time to say goodbye? Have you thought about the fact that they might not recognize you when they see you lying in the coffin? Is it because your soul is gone and now you really are not there anymore, but it's just your earthly shell? Or is it because the person who did your makeup and gave you your eternal perm had no idea who you were or what you really looked like. The person in the coffin doesn't mind but it's more of a trauma inflicted on those saying goodbye.
Why do funeral homes insist on putting blue eye shadow on women and blush that must be called Rosacea on the package, not good.
I remember my grandma's funeral. Not only was it terribly sad because I lost my best friend, but when I walked up to her casket I thought there had been some sort of mistake and they were trying to pass off Robin Williams dressed up like Mrs. Doubtfire as my grandma!
I understand that once we die and especially if our bodies go through a tramatic death, it shows and we won't look that "peaceful, like she's sleeping". But really, I don't think some places even try.
I think funeral home make up is a special calling and I don't think enough people are picking up the phone. I know this is a weird topic, but sooner or later it will effect all of us...unless your cremated. Then, never mind.
