Photographing of the dead, a long time ago, was a common practice. Mainly because
Photographs of a deceased loved one served as substitutes and reminders of the loss. Families who could not afford to commission painted portraits could arrange for a photograph to be taken cheaply and quickly after a death. This was especially important where no photograph already existed
Today, is not the case. But still, who wants their last memory to be of a loved one, dead. No thanks.
Interesting reading to our past, and how people lived back in the Victorian Era.
Death....The last taboo

Its not the case anymore because we've probably realized that its a little more comforting for the living to remember the good life that one lived through previous pictures or good memories. I don't want anyone's last rememberance of me related to some picture with my mandatory one fat friend with a sh*t eating grin on his face.

I did say that its not the case anymore. It's just an interesting look into the past how things USED to be, and it was considered common place to do that. The digital age, the camera age, life has progressed for us. Back then, they had to have that one last image of their loved one. Bit morbib. Not for me.
Agreed, I don't want the last image of a loved one to be of them dead. No thanks.
Those pictures, sorry to say, looks like a white trash family.
