Yesterday’s answer:
A Viewings at funerals
From the life of Abraham H. Cannon: At his funeral Church authorities
discouraged the custom of viewing the body: “It is needless to say to
intelligent Latter-day Saints that all this is repugnant to that spirit and
decorum which ought to characterize the laying away of the earthly tabernacles
of those whom we have loved or respected; and the general authorities of the
Church have felt called upon to exert an influence to check this evil, and have
advised the Saints not to expose their dead to public view.”
Richard S. Van Wagoner and Steven C. Walker, A Book of Mormons, (Salt Lake City:
Signature Books, 1982), 43.
