Embalming was not what it is today, plus sometimes only a few close relatives could attend if they lived near by. In the time of great emigration to America it makes sense a photo of a patriarch's funeral would help family abroad get a sense of the occasion. State funerals were also photographed much like we document them now. Stalin's funeral was attended by thousands but it's not likely they really saw anything.Norkiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017387181655123770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-29524372940055041692010-02-21T16:49:21.780-06:002010-02-21T16:49:21.780-06:00I had a picture of my Grandfather in a casket, sid...I had a picture of my Grandfather in a casket, side view, I was looking for it, that I never did find in the house of my mom's. Maybe it is best that I didn't. <br />That maybe is where the dried flowers in my mom's graduation photo came from. There were flowers everywhere from what I remembered from the photo.L.

I know it was the custom "back in the day" to take pictures of even dead bodies in caskets for "one last rememberance"...but I find it gruesome!The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.com
