Why do eyes open at death?

Your eye protrudes slightly from your face, so the muscles in your eyelids are active when your eye is closed. When you die, the muscles relax and can spread apart, causing the eye to open.

How do I tell someone that my dad died?

The only thing you can do is to take your time and communicate as best you can. Use plain and simple language. Start by saying the person died, as this leaves no room for doubt. The person may already have noticed your tone and serious nature, or that something is ‘off’ with you, so may be anticipating bad news.

How do I tell my boss about death?

You call your boss, and say, “I need to tend to family matters as so -and-so died, who is my mom/dad/how related, and I won’t be in to work today.” Make it short and simple. You may wish to keep a copy of the memorial service’s handout just in case you need proof for your employer later.

How do you ask your boss for a day off for a funeral?

For example, write, “I am requesting time off to attend the funeral of a close family friend.” Then state the date or dates you need off and what type of leave time you plan to use for those dates. Some employees, for example, might have a choice of using flex time or personal days for the time off.
