A small collection of post mortem photos from the 1870s and 1880s to the present day. These photos are taken usually by the family of the departed. It was common practice to do this as photography was expensive and many did not have the money for photos in life. When a child died they wanted to remember their child so the photograph was taken. Included in part of my collection are a large variety of Memorial Cards it was common to give these out at funerals as we do today please see my Memorial Card Collection. A lot of people think that this is strange but to me it is just a part of life and I find this very interesting. I am trying to some how document funeral customs of the past and present. To show people how the styles of caskets and coffins changed and how the styles of pictures changed over the years. I have been collecting for a number of years now . I plan on posting some other photos from my collection in the near future so please look back for updates. If you have any comments or questions please do not hesitate to contact me at GregoryRSullivan@Gmail.com . If you have any Postmortem photographs that you would like to donate to the collection please feel free to e mail me. I do not sell the photos ! Thank you for your interest.
