I understand that Post Mortem photographs were common during the late 19th century and into the early 20th century. There are several websites which go into detail on the practice. Just Goggle "Post Mortem Photographs" and you will get hits. To me its kinda eerie, particularly the children but.....to each his own. Actually, the practice isn't dead (no pun intended), I attended a funeral of a Hispanic friend a couple of years ago and sure enough, some people were snapping away. No one seemed to take offense.
