I used to think I wanted an old-fashioned Irish wake with me in the middle driving the porcelain bus.

I understand that this was not uncommon here in the States around the time of the Civil War.
The family genealogists are still debating whether that photo of great great granddad dressed in his Sunday best and sitting next to his wife was taken after he died.

Very common in the 1800’s to take postmortem photos. Postmortem photos are very collectible now and can run into the hundreds of dollars.

Damn how do they get her back in a casket? I’d think
those joints would be stiff and not limber.
