This photo was grabbed from the nationally televised funeral of past first lady Nancy Reagan. The uprise has been around how the casket isn’t anywhere near being center – look at it, it’s not even close. So, the question we want to ask is does it really matter?

Judging by some of the comments we have read many of you think it does matter and others say it is a minor detail and as long as the rest of the service went well then it doesn’t matter.

We are asking: does it matter? Please share you opinion in the comments below.
