@Wynona Thanks for your comment. It's interesting that the same passage from Leviticus seems to say about not trimming beards; do preachers shave? As regards cutting for the dead, some would see necromancy in view. Like you say, we are not under the Mosaic law; but New Testament believers for whom the Gospel is the rule of life, which for some people would include liberty about using proven effective witness means.
Definitely they are not for everyone. Although in the Bible Belt it's something that is done so widely by people, who presumably share your perspective about not being under the Mosaic law; FYI, I saw this quote:
