<u>True </u>- <u>this is the correct answer</u>. So-called <em>post-mortem photography </em>was popular in Victorian times and society. This was because most of the families did not have enough money to make casual everyday photos with family.<u> Therefore, if someone died unexpectedly, the family would pose with their body as if they were alive</u>. They would place the body, hold it with different techniques, often making it look as alive as possible. <u>Other times, the deceased would be placed to look as if they are asleep.</u> Victorian society has various complicated rituals concerning death and dying, and mortality wasn’t a taboo topic, therefore, this was not seen as weird or morbid at the time.
<u>False </u>– this is the wrong answer. We have photo evidence that people posted with deceased loved ones for photography, mostly during the Victorian period.
