        Soldier's lives have been devastated by Mortuary Services, putting body parts together. Family should not see war effects.

        It would be horrid to view my child blown to pieces and have to see them. Bad idea.

        I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine that kind of pain. As for the widow she wants to see her husband. She should be able too.

        I worked in funeral service.It is absolutely advisable to allow, if family insists, after being clearly open about the condition of the body

        We were not allowed due to time of shipping and the damage to our brother. Sometimes it is best not to know.

        It's pretty sad when a Widow's loses the confidence to believe that the government sent back her husband. I don't blame her one bit

        I can understand the Army recommending the remains not be viewed but, not allowing a viewing is entirely different.
