Pictures honoring deceased
Memorial photos are photographs taken to commemorate the dead, typically showing the deceased in their casket or surrounded by mourning family.
The practice was especially common in the Victorian era, when photography was new and a final image might be the only photograph a family ever had of a loved one.
Today the term also covers photos displayed at funeral services or memorial gatherings: We set up a table of memorial photos from throughout her life.
