Granted, not like it was 50, 60, 70 years ago. Hell, even longer than that. I've seen lots of pictures of my deceased g'parents, their parents, uncles, & so forth.. But to post the picture/pictures on Facebook, is aaah, hate to use the word again, but it's bizarre!
From my understanding it wasn't up long, just a minute or two & someone from here happened to see it & save it before she deleted it. That's not to say I would do the same thing, in fact I know I wouldn't. She also went to the funeral home & did his hair & make up which I also know I could never do. I'm just going to chalk it all up to a cultural thing I suppose.
