i can respect that. i think it's pretty wierd too. i had a coworker years ago that lost a 2 yr/old to a battle with heart disease or something to that effect. she then brought pictures of her and her family (husband and other small children) holding and posing with the child's body before they buried him. honestly, they were pretty tasteful (other than the fact that the child was dead) photos. nothing disrecpectful. Another friend lost his wife and young child in a terrible car accident. he was allowed to have them buried in his backyard..... yes, wierd. but i can't possibly imagine what i would do or what it would be like if i lost a child....
I can kind of relate here. A few years ago my older brother died suddenly of a heart attack. When I went to the funereal home I completely lost it and went seriously, horrifically berzerk because I wanted to take him home with me. Eventually I calmed down, but had they allowed me to I would have taken him with me.
