When my grandfather died, I was forced to kiss him goodbye. And although I have seen many people laid out for viewing, I will never touch another corpse. Grandpa was cold, his skin hard, like a stiff plastic. No wrinkles and makeup.
Per a mortician- the plastic look to the hands is typical. While the mortician wasn't enthusiastic about the skill level of the make up job, the waxy / plastic look was well within the range of how a corpse would look.
Yes, well. She lost me at the coffin. Beyond creepy.
What was the explanation for the plastic looking hands? I've not heard. Have you?

Agree.
Yeah, the videos of that gave off performative vibes for me. I'm reserving judgement for now, but it does raise some questions in my mind.
