Answer 15

Their families don't want his face exposed to the public (and who knows how many people were there with camera's attached to their shirts or hats ready to take snap shots of his face to post it on the net). But to be honest, I kinda wanted to see his face in the casket, just to take a last look at him before they buried him.
