Sort of like a mortician who handles the burial of a family member giving you a tasteful little box after the service which contains a hank of hair, an inked palm-print, and a postmortem photo.
I can kind of understand that for a stillborn baby. I don't think I'd want that, personally, but I can understand why they'd want something to remind them when they have been left with nothing. For anyone else, it's creepy.
My aunt wants my grandmother left at home until she can travel from Melbourne to Sydney (takes her 2 days with 2 kids she intends on bringing with her) to see her at home instead of at a funeral home.
Intellectually, I can see where she's coming from, but it's caused some rifts.
Is it normal to keep your deceased dog’s fur?

I agree: that's some peculiar shit.
