you can find the pictures of the old dead all over the internet.

I have a pic of my dead grandmother, for she lived in Europe and there was a custom of taking a pic to send to far away relatives.

About 40 some years ago, there was a book filled with old photos of Victorian/Edwardian dead, in Wisconsin. I bought the book ( it's quite interesting and contains lots of info about those times and funeral customs in America ), which is why I know about this.

Thanks for the info re Europe; I wasn't sure if it had been the custom there as well.
