A women passed away in the building were I lived and was not detected for two weeks (Approximation) when the apartment door was opened two men passed out from the odor
I smelled it as her body was removed on a stretcher, I was about ten years old and still remember that odor, so strong I could taste it. I ran away.

To this day I shy away from anything associated with death, and yes I do what I can to avoid funerals though I do attend. No matter what one says or does can effect the dead the honors and dignity presented them is to appease the living. I do not wish to offend.
