There are the death mask photos. They would have a photo made of their love one after they were prepared for burial. Or what about the mourning jewelry Queen V. made popular, after she started to wear jewelry with Prince Albert's hair. <br /><br />I find it ever so interesting to see how different cultures live and how the practices of cultures change over time.
