It’s the ultimate creep-out. And, quite disrespectful to boot.
They pose these individuals based on a premise they hate in real life...stereotyping. They stereotype what the deceased loved to do in life, for what s/he was known for, and posts them that way for burial.
I remember seeing one guy astride a Harley-Davidson, and wondered, “Did they bury the Harley with him, or was it just for show.”.
Symbolism over substance.
They did bury him on his Harley.
