I've known people who have touched their dead relatives in a coffin and they said they felt hard. At my father's funeral I couldn't bring myself to touch him even though part of me wanted to I just couldn't do it. I loved my father dearly but I couldn't touch him. Have you ever touched a dead body? What was it like for you?

My beloved mom passed away in my hug. My younger sister and brother left for their supper in that very moment. I was the only one who accompanied her for her last departure. I did some chanting for her during that heart breaking moment. I kissed her and rested my face on hers. I still could feel the warm sensation of her cheek even though this happened eleven years back. I was at ease as she could pass away peacefully. Her body still warmed when the rest of my siblings returned home after half an hour or so.

Skins will be softer upto ten hours then whole body will be toughened and face also got changed in colour and looks alike of somebody. In my family and my relatives deaths i use to wash and lift the bodies as affection and humanity.
