I'm thinking you'd want to place more emphasis on the after-party than the corpse itself since I suspect most of your target market would rather have a quick, simple, environmentally-friendly cremation than than burial (let alone open-casket) but, still the possibilities are endless. The folks who pick up the body can wear funny costumes and drive a rainbow hearse. You could organise amusing urns shaped like bongs and hookahs and spaceships, ash-spreading balloon trips, fully-catered, celebration-of-life memorial bashes with themes like Dia de los Muertos, Finnegan's Wake, or Karma Casino (spin the Reincarnation Roulette wheel to see what the 'guest of honour' might be next time round).
If they really want the open casket, maybe they'd like to be made up like their favourite character from Interview with a Vampire or even Cirque du Soleil! Pall bearers can be costumed accordingly.
