Victorian Macabre photo
That's right. Victorian age people had a ritual of taking one last photo of a deceased family member before they were laid to rest. Bodies were usually propped up with a mechanical device to make them as natural looking as possible. I believe taking photos of the deceased with living still occurs in some countries in this age.

Are those photos of family with the recently deceased?
