    I find the idea of taking a photo of a deceased family member quite strange...

    Wouldn't you rather look at pictures, from when said family member was alive?
    If someone showed me a picture of my dead grandmother in her casket, I'd just feel sad again and be brought back to that horrible day.

      In the 19th century, virtually the only time you took a photo of someone was when they were deceased.

      It's absolutely normal to want to preserve your last memory of your grandmother in this way.
