It’s the ones where live people are posing with their dead relatives that get me. Its bad enough taking pictures of dead people, but sitting there holding your dead baby is a whole other level of awful.

Dose are creepy as hell. Why did they take photos of dead ones? Especially when they was posing?

It was a thing people did then. They wanted something to remember the dead relative with and frankly dead people were the only ones still enough to take a really good photo.
