its not creepy...its a must in hindu funeral. ..there is a ritual to it
my late father wore his wedding attire(dhoti)and all my mom's suhaagan nishani went into his coffin...they never let me see as i am not allow to but few widows came..break her mangalsutra n chooda...wipe her sindoor...her brother had to give her white cloth(it comes from maternal side)...this happens when a husband passed away
when a wife passed away...they dress her up like dulhan...make her wear her wedding ornaments and they will call the husband to apply sindoor on her forehead n tie mangalsutra again on her neck...put bichiya on her 2nd toe finger..its her last bidaai from her husband house..being a suhaagan
in both gender...the dead have to take a last bath...shuddhi of the dead...as they no more have ties with the world n their relationship...
and both parents...in the end the son has to do the rites...if the couples has daughter than the husband will do the rites...if got a son...the grandson do it...if grandaughter...the husband do it...
