You, or a representative of your choice, may be asked to formally identify the body. You are also entitled to view the deceased should you wish to do so. The buildings where viewings take place vary in design and in some cases you will see the person through a glass window rather than being in the same room.
If, for example, the body has been damaged through involvement in a traffic collision, this will be explained to you with sensitivity and you will be given a choice as to whether you want to see the deceased or have some other form of identification used if possible.
