They disconnect us from reality and don't prepare us for the emotions we are met with when we actually experience death.

# data[].attributes.body
they had there own caskets indestructable

# data[].attributes.body
Very small amount of time with these practices

The casket was custom made by the family

# data[].attributes.body
The family was allowed to custom make the casket she is going to be put in.

# data[].attributes.body
very personal styled inside of the casket

# data[].attributes.body
The caskets were personally made both inside and out.

# data[].attributes.body
They aren't personalized. Their just doing their job, and don't know the person or their backstories. unlike their families

# data[].attributes.body
They protect the body.

The casket helps protect the body from the decomposition process

# data[].attributes.body
The casket protects the body from outside forces that could speed up the process of decomposition.

# data[].attributes.body
Caskets that do nothing more then protect the body.

# data[].attributes.body
they are indestructible

# data[].attributes.body
They slow down the decomposition of the body. The body will still decompose, but at a slower rate.

# data[].attributes.body

How they look

# data[].attributes.body
it doesn't protect the public's health from diseases

# data[].attributes.body
They protect the body from decomposition.

# data[].attributes.body
They built and decorated their own casket.

# data[].attributes.body
i like the way you stated that cameron

# data[].attributes.body
Does not protect public health if someone passed away with a disease (worst possible time to embalm them)

# data[].attributes.body
How the deceased looked.

# data[].attributes.body
a casket that can protect the body from harm when being handled and when it is buried

# data[].attributes.body
Protects the body from decomposing and keeps it in good condition and preserved properly.

# data[].attributes.body
The fluids are being put in the sewer system, and it could put the public in potential danger.

# data[].attributes.body
it does not protect the public, and it might increase the speed of the decomposition of the body.

# data[].attributes.body
kaila also that it can caue disease

# data[].attributes.body
is not very sanitary

# data[].attributes.body
The people who are doing the procedure could get a blood born disease, and the blood is just going down the sewers

# data[].attributes.body
It can also do some harm, since the fluids are being put into the sewer system.

# data[].attributes.body
The doctors working on the body could be open to different pathogens and they are wasting the fluids into the sewer

# data[].attributes.body
It is not very sanitary and can cause disease to the public as the fluids and remains are disposed in the sewers. Also, unsanitary for the people working on the body as they are exposed to many things.

# data[].attributes.body
They protect the body from decomposing.

# data[].attributes.body
you can make it beatuiful

# data[].attributes.body
Does not protect the public health.

she didn't want that to happen because she loved her

# data[].attributes.body
Its  a casket that slows down the body from decomposing

# data[].attributes.body
Allison's mother wasn't willing to send her to a strange place at such a young age and thought that her family needed more time with her.

# data[].attributes.body
Her mother wanted to take care of her daughter personally and not by a stranger in a funeral home.

# data[].attributes.body
Allison's mother kept her at home to accept what had happened, and to not hide nor deny it, and Allison's mother also did not want to give her daughter's body to a stranger at a morgue.

# data[].attributes.body
She thought an at home funeral would be more beneficial because they needed more time with her and she loved her and said she was with her since the beginning when she came into the world so she thought this would be a better option.

# data[].attributes.body
She didn't want her daughter to be take to a hospital morgue. She didn't wan to hand her over to people she doesn't know. she felt that she should taking care of her since she had been born.

# data[].attributes.body
She felt as if it was her duty to care for her child herself even after death. It also helped people cope with her very sudden death

# data[].attributes.body
Her older brothers who were also in the accident could talk openly about what happened with her at the house.

# data[].attributes.body
they would have more time with her

# data[].attributes.body
She died suddenly, keeping her in her room instead of sending her off to strangers is more comforting and you have as much time needed to say goodbye.

# data[].attributes.body
having her at the house made Allisons mother feel not as worried and they wanted more time with her

# data[].attributes.body
It was comforting for the guest to talk to her because she was there and they could see her in her room instead of "calling hours" at a unfamiliar place.

# data[].attributes.body
She wanted it to be easier on the kids. She cared for her children all her life and It didn't feel right not caring for he in the end either

# data[].attributes.body
The family could build and personalize the casket for their loved one.

# data[].attributes.body
@Jenna, I agree and also wonder if the brothers involved will carry on this way of home burial

# data[].attributes.body
@Cameron
I like the way you started your response.

# data[].attributes.body
Also by having a cardboard box helps the creativity and the freedom for the family to do what they want with a body -Jenna

# data[].attributes.body
Man the question says 5 characteristics.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, its hard for people to just suddenly see their loved one dead after not seeing them for a while.
Ally

# data[].attributes.body
It can be a danger to health and can be very gross

# data[].attributes.body
Yea i think it's really weird that they don't care weather the person is embalmed they only care about how they look.

# data[].attributes.body
@Ally G, both the public and doctors performing the embalming are not protected so I wonder why it is required or why specialists take that job.

# data[].attributes.body
@Emily
I agree with your response.

# data[].attributes.body
@Karolina,
That is very true

# data[].attributes.body
@Cameron I disagree, I feel like seeing the dead body at home is reassurance they really are dead. You go through all the same emotions it's just easier because your in your home- safe and comfortable.

# data[].attributes.body
expand what you are saying

# data[].attributes.body
Are you sure that they're indestructible.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's crazy that they are selling this product saying that it slows decomposition when really it doesn't impact it.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. I'd hate to have someone close to me die, then wait a week for a funeral. And ridiculous fees.
-Karolina

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. I like the way you said that
Ally

# data[].attributes.body
You're a pretty rad whippersnapper for speaking that intuitive thought my guy

# data[].attributes.body
They prevent your body from damaging.

# data[].attributes.body
You're right and she didn't wanna send her daughter to some unknown place. -Jenna

# data[].attributes.body
@jaelyn I agree with what you said and I think that it was a better environment for friends to come see her on their on time rather than a scheduled time an date for a funeral.

# data[].attributes.body
They decorated the coffin with pictures of her memories

# data[].attributes.body
it wasnt really clean.

# data[].attributes.body
@Kaila also public health hazards.

# data[].attributes.body
they weren't just indestructible they kept the body from harm

# data[].attributes.body
@sabrina I agree, its not every sanitary

# data[].attributes.body
@abby I agree with you and I think that they protect the body as well

# data[].attributes.body
Nothing different than a normal casket

# data[].attributes.body
@megan, I agree with you and since she was so young she didn't want her daughter somewhere she didn't know

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with what you said

# data[].attributes.body
Correct B

# data[].attributes.body
Helps slow decomposition process.

# data[].attributes.body
Health concerns

# data[].attributes.body
More Familiar place.

# data[].attributes.body
Dont have enough time to grieve.

# data[].attributes.body
Often a regular funeral would not give the family and friends of the dead enough time to process and accept the fact they their loved one had passed away. They go through the same emotions at a home funeral but it gives them more time to understand and grieve over what had happened.

# data[].attributes.body
@Ally Goodman I agree with what you said. It is more comfortable to have a funeral at home.
