Morticians use these spiky contraptions to keep the dead’s eyes shut
Death can make most people uncomfortable, but morticians deal with it every day at work. They see dead bodies on a daily basis, so they are most likely a bit desensitized to the whole process. That is why they would not bat an eye at the existence of contraptions such as these.
Most people would be horrified to learn they keep the deceased eyes’ shut with little spiky contact such as this one, but the truth is that making bodies fit for viewing can be a daunting task. After all, the purpose is to allow loved ones to grieve without being traumatized by how the body looks like.
