Dead Bodies Posed for Pictures

Re: Dead Bodies Posed for Pictures
On one of the DR threads, this custom was acted upon in very recent times. I saw several pix of the deceased propped up in the corner during his funeral at his home, while the mourners milled about. I forgot the name of the thread...anyone happen to remember which one?

Re: Dead Bodies Posed for Pictures
No idea where the thread is that you're talking about, but is this the same thing you're talking about? Kid kept standing for a 3-day wake? http://www.sodahead.com/living/corps...estion-138296/ |

Re: Dead Bodies Posed for Pictures
It doesn't make sense nowadays where everyone has hundreds of photos taken in life. For this people, a photo was a memorable event. Cameras where not widespread, they were restricted to people with specific skills and expensive. So, taking a picture right after dead made some sense, grab an image of the departed. Still creepy.
