Perhaps research is necessary, but I've never heard of a family being allowed to take a dead body home from the hospital to say goodbye.

I've never heard of a family being allowed to take a dead body home from the hospital to say goodbye.

The Santorum family did, as well as other families who lost newborn babies.

I don't have an opinion on whether it's the right or wrong thing to do. I just saw your comment, and immediately thought of the Santorums. And, of course, in the old days (when my parents were young - 1940's or so), people held viewings in their homes, not at a funeral home. Nowadays that kind of practice seems so alien to us.
