But it wasn't odd at the time. At the time, during the Victorian era, the deceased was kept in the house for viewing until the burial date. That, to me, is far "odder" when viewed in a modern context than snapping a photo of a deceased individual.

That tea looks a bit weak. The teabag should have been sloshed around inside the cup a little longer.
I think they still do that in Ireland.
btw, it's about time someone told you your so-called signature is lame. I'm surprised a mod hasn't deleted it for being too large a file or at least, too retarded. just sayin'. it doesn't help your stock much kid.
you and flossy both.
get a grip.
They were less sensitive to death than we are today. People hundreds and thousands of years ago didn't try to brush death away like we do today. At some of the well-preserved Neolithic houses at Skara Brae up in Orkney archaeologists dug up skeletons right underneath where beds used to be. So people went to bed at night knowing their grannies and grandads or whoever were buried underneath their beds. Nowadays, people would find that creepy and unsettling.

That's very odd behaviour for today's standards. Go's to show how much our reality has changed.
Small changes can have huge impacts culturally.
Maybe it even explains the state of our universities :lol:
