I don’t like them either. I’d rather my viewing be a lighthearted meet and greet

I'm with you. I don't understand why people would go out of their way to attend a viewing for a non-family member/friend

It's both, a custom that does something for some people

It's in my will: if there's a viewing for my funeral, they have to string me up like a marionette for one final dance.

We need to do viewings Puerto Rico style
