Editing Veil (section)

==== Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ====
In 2019 a letter by [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] President [[Russell M. Nelson]] and his counselors, [[Dallin H. Oaks]] and [[Henry B. Eyring]], declared that "Veiling the faces of deceased, 'endowed' [members who have been through a temple ceremony] women prior to burial is optional"; previously it had been required. The letter went on to say that such veiling, "may be done if the sister expressed such a desire while she was living. In cases where the wishes of the deceased sister on this matter are not known, her family should be consulted."<ref name="sltrib.com">{{Cite web|url=https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2019/01/29/heels-temple-changes/|title = On heels of temple changes, faithful Latter-day Saint women no longer need to be veiled before burial}}</ref> That same year veiling of women during part of the temple endowment ceremony was also made optional where it had been required before.<ref name="sltrib.com"/>
