In today's news is a picture of the dead body of the the GREAT LEADER of North Korea. He sits out there for everyone to see. Displaying the dead body of political leaders is quite common in other countries. I remember even the Pope's body was displayed for everyone to see. Public figures of all types dead bodies are shown to the public in countries all over the world. It gives people closure.
Why isn't this done in America? For example, when President Ford and Nixon died people were allowed to walk by a casket but it was unlikely the body was even in there. Public figures like closed caskets at their funerals.
Why is America afraid to show the bodies of their deceased public figures and it is so common in Europe and Asia?
most likely it's a safety precaution guarding against the potential threat of a president raising from the grave and eating the brains of the general public. it happens.
When a body is lying in state with thousands of people walking by in an age of cell phones and many people without a sense of proper decorum I can see why families don't take a chance that someone would come by and do something like spit on the body or kiss the set of lips inside the coffin. If I'm not mistaken even Kim Jong was displayed in a glass box.

What makes you think America is "afraid".
Though we have the Lincoln precedent where they hauled his body all over the Western Hemisphere in a train and word is the body turned black and began to do what decomposing bodies do which is stink. That must not have been very pleasant.
I actually paid my respects when Nixon died. Though perhaps "respect" wouldn't be the correct word. Let's just say I was in the line that filed past his coffin. Guess I should have taken the opportunity to tap on the box and say, "Dick? You in there?"
