Seems a bit disrespectful to me but that's obviously the way the family wanted it I suppose.

RIP James Brown.
Yep , open casket in front of 8,000 even the TV cameras zoomed in a couple of times to show what he was wearing , and the undertaker was thanked from the stage for making the extra effort to make him look good , the casket/coffin was 24 caret gold plate , and had to be driven from the Apollo (NYC) showing to Georgia as it was too heavy to be transported by plane ........... , not your usual Accy crematorium job
