If a person was convinced that his/her afterlife is gong to be better than the earthly life she lived, wouldn't it make sense for the deceased, if s/he has funeral pre-arrangements made, had placed on her/his face a smile to indicate the joyous experience s/he expects in that afterlife?

Asuming you're going to have an open-casket showing &/or funeral service upon your earthly demise (please play along with the premise if you've committed to a cremation or other arrangement for your remains), do you think those grieving your homegoing should see a smile on your bodys face?
Yes (perhaps even if I'm unsure of my eternal destination)
