I had a *ahem* client recently who had obviously been obsessed with plastic surgery while she was living. She wasn't a young woman. She has breast, butt, chin and cheek implants. She had her ears pinned, her nose redone (twice) and several face and eye lifts. Some of the work was obvious, but most of this information came from her distraught husband.
He requested her face go back to what it was supposed to look like for her funeral, providing several pictures of what he wanted her to look like. His reasoning was he wanted her to be "his wife again" when they meet in heaven. My client died peacefully. There was no trauma to her body whatsoever (not even an autopsy), so there was no need to reconstruct. I tried explaining this to him, as did my superior, but there was no swaying his decision that this had to be done. He only asked that her breast and butt implants stay "because, frankly, they look great" (his words, hence the quotes).
After deliberating it, and greatly increasing the price of the funeral, my superior gave the go ahead and I went to work on this ridiculous case. I can't help but wonder, if they do meet in heaven, if she isn't just going to bitch slap him for making her look old and giving her back a face she obviously hated.
