In general, I think there's not much to be gained from the denial of death engendered in the attempts made by morticians to make corpses look like they are just sleeping, etc. A more realistic aspect in death would give the surviving relatives a greater chance of coming to terms with their bereavement in a healthy, natural way.


That said, this image of the dead mother watching over her children at a faked graveside is just plain creepy.:

The expressions are so lifeless as well, for the living.
Most portraits of that era are like that because the exposure times were that much longer.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/61092/1/rss0_91.rss#q3

I remember when I was 10, I stumbled upon pictures of my recently deceased grandfather in his coffin.

I took postmortem pictures of my dear Peter at the funeral home. I had accidentally set the camera to black and white. They are very striking, and I do occasionally look at them.]]>
