Im one of the guys here too...I post offbeat pics there all the time (thanx 'Chris').

And...The pics are real.
 
Exhibit A - I don't understand why someone would take pictures at a funeral.
Exhibit B - I really don't understand why someone would POSE for a picture at a funeral.
Exhibit RIP - I freaking don't understand why you would want this picture of your loved one.
Exhibit WTF - I absofuckinglutely don't understand what the hell this guy is so happy about.

SO WEIRD.

This reminds me of that family that took their stillborn baby home and took pictures of themselves pretending it was alive. They even had their kids hold it, and say hello to it.

SO WEIRD.
 
Photographing of the dead, a long time ago, was a common practice. Mainly because

Photographs of a deceased loved one served as substitutes and reminders of the loss. Families who could not afford to commission painted portraits could arrange for a photograph to be taken cheaply and quickly after a death. This was especially important where no photograph already existed

Today, is not the case. But still, who wants their last memory to be of a loved one, dead. No thanks.

Interesting reading to our past, and how people lived back in the Victorian Era.

Death....The last taboo

Its not the case anymore because we've probably realized that its a little more comforting for the living to remember the good life that one lived through previous pictures or good memories. I don't want anyone's last rememberance of me related to some picture with my mandatory one fat friend with a sh*t eating grin on his face.

I did say that its not the case anymore. It's just an interesting look into the past how things USED to be, and it was considered common place to do that. The digital age, the camera age, life has progressed for us. Back then, they had to have that one last image of their loved one. Bit morbib. Not for me.

Agreed, I don't want the last image of a loved one to be of them dead. No thanks.

Those pictures, sorry to say, looks like a white trash family.

I was thinking the same thing.

The stiff is probably their uncle daddy.

 
I believe a few days prior to the pictures, the day started with the guy in the first pic (The one with the grin.) saying to the guy in the casket "...I bet you can't..."
 
I work in the deathcare industry and photographs of the funeral service and the deceased are not as uncommon as you'd expect, especially with so many digital cameras around nowadays.

 
From what I saw of the funeral party, these are probably folks that most of us can't see, who walk around saying "I see dead people".:shocked:
