Post Mortem Portrait Archive: Part Seven

More From My Post-Mortem Portrait Archive: Part Seven

Here are a few more images from my Post-Mortem Portrait collection. Click on any to enlarge.

 

This tradition and urge to photograph the dead is not gone. Even though everybody now has easy access through personal digital cameras and cellphones, some still prefer the services of a skilled professional photographer. Today there is a website which features contemporary professional post-mortem portrait services made available to parents who have lost a child:  Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.  Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep specializes in infant bereavement photography. Co-founded in 2005 by Cheryl Haggard, whose fourth child died just six days after his birth, and photographer Sandy Puc, the group connects a network of professional photographers, who provide their services free of charge, with parents grieving the loss of a new child.
