When you die, a lot of people you haven’t seen in awhile might come to your funeral to pay their respects. Naturally, you’ll want to look your best.

Holy … what??

Mark Duffey, president and CEO of Everest Funeral, a national funeral planning and concierge service, says that “people want to be remembered. A funeral is their last major event and they want to look good for it. I’ve even had people say, ‘I want you to get rid of my wrinkles and make me look younger’.”

For years, morticians have had the spooky task of putting makeup on the dead to make them look “presentable” and more like they did in life. They’ve been plumping lips and even lifting breasts for longer than we want to consider.

Now, entire cosmetic procedures are being performed. This makes sense in cases where illness or tragedy has ravaged the appearance of the deceased, and less in cases where people are writing out their wishes for post-mortum facelifts to make sure they look just right — and in many cases, years younger. Dignity or vanity? You be the judge.

I’ll go with cremated — cheaper on the family members. Besides, who wants to look like that lady above?
