It is the husk of someone we loved. Until you have been there it might be hard to understand. But seeing and touching is part of saying goodbye. Without it, grief is left hanging, unfinished, incomplete.

Agreed; seeing someone's remains for the final time is a large part of process of coping with their death.

  Govt   have pulled the plug there is no more political capital to be gained   as     vast  majoprity of NZ have  had enough  .So  want taxpayers to fork out another  $6m  ,the money  is better spent on the living like   upgrading or building promised new hospitals  .
