Post-mortem photos were quite popular in the nineteenth and twentieth-century European and American cultures. The practice of taking a picture of the recently deceased was a regular part of the grieving process. Often times, the deceased were held up on a stand and posed; sometimes eyes were painted over closed eyelids. Many of us in modern culture consider them rather creepy.
