Original: FDs may at times be asked to perform tasks such as dressing ( in garments usually suitable for daily wear ) , casketing ( placing the human body in the container ) , and cosmetizing ( applying any sort of cosmetic or substance to the viewable areas of the person for the purpose of enhancing appearances ) .
Simplified: If people are going to come and look at the body before burial , the funeral director will have the body dressed , and made up with cosmetics to make it look better .
