It’s “memento mori”, Latin for "remember you must die." It really took off during the Victorian period (1800’s) bc photography was new and it was a way for families to remember their loved ones - especially children. Photography of the living didn’t really take off until the late 1800s - it was expensive so it was reserved for very special moments. It was common with death bc so many died back then - but especially children - of the diseases we now have vaccinations for.
When you see people standing using a frame - that had gotten mixed up into the memento mori stories. Those stands were actually used with live people who were getting their photos taken. It helped pose them and to hold still during the session. They were not at all built to support the “dead weight” of bodies. It is true though that people did pose their dead loved ones. But it was not with those frame stands.
Ahh…one of my favorite subjects: Post Mortem Photography…been into PM photos for over 20 years…The history is interesting, prior to the invention of the camera, posthumous paintings/drawings/sketchings of the subject with certain things that would let the views know the subject was deceased: holding flowers, one shoe on, one shoe off, that sort of thing, Photography began in the 1840s and they began taking death portraits while the body is lying in the deathbed, some looking like sleeping angels while others looked to have suffered terribly…they continued to use flowers and other things to note the subject was deceased, in later years they would use the “cloud” effect to make the photo portraits look as if taken in Heaven itself, and the “rolled” edges where it looks like the corners of the photo have peeled up and a bit rolled…it was a fairly common thing to have PM portraits of your loved ones, especially the babies…Interesting note is I’ve done my genealogy, and a lot of times the babies are just a name and a date, but some folks had such loving and beautiful death portraits of those nearly forgotten babies, as proof they were here…I haven’t come across any PM Photos in my own family tree, but I do have one of a great aunt who died sometime after she turned a year old, and twin great uncles, one died the day after birth, the other at six months old, they had a living portrait of the one before he reached six months, and two were made, identical pictures, I think to make them feel like both boys were represented…the practice died down in the later 1920s…They still take photos of the deceased in very religious communities in Russia, Latvia, Ukraine, Romania and many of the Baltic Countries…Scandinavians did PM photos as well, very stark, minimal flowers, everything is crisp white, ladies long hair in a single, long braid…stark, neat and clean, similar in Europe, but they used heavy religious imagery and the use of scented herbs, and greenery surrounding the bodies…Thanatos.com is the best place to view PM photos…
ETA: I’m on a few gore page on Fuckbook, and on this one mortuary/funeral/dead people thread, they get pissy when you cut up these type of funerals…they say “this is their culture”, seriously what fucked up sort of “culture” do you have to prop dead guys up with dead eyes and a visible GSW?? I think these are in Africa…culture my Irish-American ass…

Ghanese guy in Ghana -- I wonder how long these celebrations last, in the African heat the "exhibits" will rot before your very eyes.
1840s is Victorian times 😆
A clean bottle of water is probably a flex in whatever shit hole country this took place in.
Yeah, but the 1940s+ aren't Victorian era dipshit.
Yep, that’s right, those stands were too flimsy to support a dead body, people has to hold their poses for a bit during the sessions, makes absolute sense to aid them in the pose…

I think we’re in the same group(s) over there 🤭
The one I mentioned is Afterdeath…tons of Funeral home staff on that one…so they’ll post a video of some black skanks twerking in front of the corpse and if you joke about it you could get booted for not “respecting their culture”…Since when has “twerking” become a friggin’ “Mourning Ritual” or “culture”??
