My personal theory is that these photographs follow in the tradition of creating death masks to preserve memories or create painted portraits.

And everyone is different, I guess.  I myself am quite content to not have seen my dad (or have a photograph of him) after he died. I’d rather have a living picture of him in my heart.

Me too. My Dad died in Philly while I lived in Copenhagen and I’ve seen enough bodies to last a lifetime. I did not need to see him dead face as I aave plenty of wonderful memories.
