This custom is by no means universal. I have seen a number of Italian-American ladies laid out- full length- and the effect was stunning. Possibly the half-couch or ( playing card) presentation may be inspired from... indeed, playing cards. May be done to show a sleep-like posture. There is nothing wrong with full length and if it is a beautiful woman, well it only enhances the illusion of being Natural. of course if there is surgery or battle damage ( for example auto accidents which might damage the legs) one can see the half-length presentation. Both have their uses and devotees. The body is normally barefoot in the half-length presentation- so the song ( Christmas Shoes) sort of shorts out.

How can you pay for a funeral without life insurance?

Funerals don't have to be so pricey. There are a number of potential costs involved in a funeral and to a great extent, the more options you choose, the more expensive the funeral will be. Even your individual preference of burial or cremation for the remains will influence your costs. By having direct cremation and no service at the funeral home, you can save thousands of dollars and can have a memorial service elsewhere. If you want a more traditional funeral, you can buy a casket from somewhere other than the funeral home; many funeral services' Web sites and other vendors offer overnight delivery, directly to a funeral home, of a variety of caskets at one-third to one-half the cost you'll pay at the funeral home. Donating the body to a medical school, mortuary school or anatomical firm can also save you money. In exchange, most will cremate the remains of the body after use and return the ashes to you.
