When I was really little my parents made me go to a funeral and touch the body. I asked why it was so hard and cold and I was told that it was really wood that had been in the freezer because right after someone dies they go to heaven and then someone has to recreate the body. When I asked why some people did not have bodies to touch they said they did not have a good picture to redo them!
