It was also common practice after an epic shootout in the Old West to prop up the losing side’s corpses for ghastly trophy photos, sometimes with their guns thrust into stiff lifeless hands.
I have attended funerals where the bereaved are snapping photos of the deceased in the casket. Creepy. Why not just hold on to photos of the living person & remember them that way?
I think Mr. Mercat’s cousin did snap some photos of my mother in law in her casket. I don’t know. I don’t think it’s creepy. I understand why some think it is. I don’t plan to do it. I do want open an open casket. I’m sad that my brother was cremated before I could see him gone. Is that creepy?
