I think the whole thing is creepy as hell. On the other hand, what is 
considered "decent" and what counts for "respect" varies wildly by 
culture. I'm told there are places where it is traditional to eat the 
flesh of the deceased as a mark of respect, and to not do so would be a 
great dishonour. It makes no sense to me, but then I'm not from that 
culture...
