  • I'm sure you can put that request in your will or whatever...
  • Eh? I really don't think comfort is going to be a big concern if you're dead. If it it actually is an issue, perhaps i should reconsider getting cremated... And no, you don't HAVE to get buried in shoes. Just let someone know ahead of time your wishes. In writing, if you want to be sure.
  • ..and a cell phone in case your not dead. That would really suck, though you'd be comfortable. Until the oxygen ran out.
  • I doubt if it will matter that much. What you need to do is leave instructions with your loved ones. My parents paid for their funerals and burial in advance and left a contract that detailed what they wanted.
  • i hope you arent about to die on us tho. that would be horrible!
  • My mother was buried without shoes.
  • You can be buried just about anyway you want, just leave your request with the one who will be doing the arrangments.
  • Most people are buried without shoes. It's personal choice.
  • I would want my viewing to where I am wearing what I normaly wear. So people could remeber me as I was. Beyond that I want to be cremated in the end. But I think funeral parlors follow the request of the families. So I am sure shoes are optional.
  • The whole clothing thing seems unnecessary. More work for the bugs to do, if you ask me. I say clothe me for the viewing, but strip me for the burial.
  • As far as I know, people are buried without shoes.
  • We buried one of my friends barefoot exactly as you describe, except in a silk-lined casket. The casket was open down to her toes at the wake, and everyone thought she looked great. No one really wants to take their eternal rest with a pair of shoes on.
  • Most people are buried barefooted unless requested they have shoes. Now there those who have full open casket with they do have shoes own. But in partial open caskets they are normally barefooted.
