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.
What was the explanation for the plastic looking hands? I've not heard. Have you?

Agree.
