[quote=Anonymous]Didn't people used to lay out the body for viewing in their homes before burial, before there were funeral homes, etc.? And there would be a wake at that time or visitors to the family. It may be a vestige of practices like this. Parents took photos of their dead children in memory of them. I heard that about great-grandparents, a story about two children who had died and were laid out in the living room. I assumed it meant for visitation before burial. [/quote]
