ANSWER:

It is disrespectful to display the deceased like this. The sunnah is to cover the deceased face as one changes after death.

It is permissible for close and loved ones to come and kiss or take a last look at the deceased if it is a male or they are mahram to the woman as was reported that abu bakr came and revealed the face of the prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam and kissed him but he was not left with open face and exposed to people to come in and look!
