I personally get lots of atmospheric inspiration from these pics...

The story: some Russian families like to keep photos of their dead relatives as a memento of their life

It's sort of an Orthodox thing - they really get into the mourning.

People in these times would have seen death so often. It's a shame that we have closed caskets most of the time now. It really jades us from what's happening around us and makes dealing with death harder.
