Uncle Jack-In-The-Box Has Left The Building

Apparently, a funeral home in Saginaw, Michigan has created a drive-thru lane where mourners can pull up to a display window - triggering automatic curtains to open and reveal the deceased body lying in a casket.  (CLICK HERE for story).  Simultaneously, music starts to play overhead and continues for 3 minutes…at which time the music concludes and the curtains close.  You then pull away, having paid your drive-thru respects to the dearly departed.  There's even a slide-out drawer where you can sign the guest-book, as well as a deposit opening for leaving donations, cards or memory items.  

Awe…how warm, fuzzy & personal is this???

There's so much wrong and inappropriate about this that I don't know where to begin to address it.  Therefore, I choose to only contribute to this horrid (and horrifying) idea with additional inappropriateness.   I think this funeral-home proprietor should double-down and blow-out this concept by providing a menu of musical themes to add a little "posthumous production" for the mobile mourners.  Have them stick a donation in a Jukebox and punch in their personal preference to make one final 3-minute memory with their "close friend" or loved one:
