I have this old weird friend, on FB and this morning she posts pictures of her dead grandmother in her casket. Im not sure how i feel about this. It makes me a bit uncomfortable.. I think this crosses a line. Of course no one as commented on them..

am i the only one who thinks you dont need to post pictures of your dead family memebers, at their funeral.. in the casket?

That would totally creep me out.

rubyshoes7 · January 2011

Ummm, that's odd. To each their own, but I wouldn't be posting photos like that publicly...

Yeah, that's a little creepy. For some reason this seems to be a new trend or something. I've noticed more and more people doing this. Either that or I just have some really creepy friends. lol

Um this creeps me out.

SailorGray · January 2011

I woudn't like it. I don't think my deceased g-ma would like it either.

Oh well, to each their own.

That's so weird & unnecessary to share with everyone on FB. I don't even like walking past an open casket at a funeral so I defintely wouldn't be taking pictures.

That is creepy, IMO. In addition to this, I'd venture to guess that some people wouldn't want their dead bodies posted on FB after they die. I guess it could serve as closure for some people? FWIW, when my grandma died, going to her wake was closure for me. I didn't take pictures or anything because I didn't want to remember her like that.

Chrysallys · January 2011

Yeah, I wouldn't be comfortable with that.

It is strange enough to take pictures, but to share them on FB would really creep me out!

At my dads Funeral, i didnt take pictures either... because i didnt want to remember him that way.

oh wow. Very weird

I was told I HAD to take pictures at my grandpas funeral so that they could be mailed back to Italy where a lot of family still lives. It is what they do. I deleted the pictures once I sent them b/c I didn't want to see them but to each their own. Also some of my cousins in Italy have shared funeral pics on fb.

I am terrified of dead bodies. No offense, don't know another way to put it. But I would be hiding that album or whatever until I knew they were gone....I couldn't even try to look.

I'm terrified of dead bodies too. I get really bad anxiety if I have to go to a wake or funeral. Even seeing pictures freaks me out though. One of my cousins put up a picture of his friend who passed away. It was randomly placed in an album titled "Friends". It totally freaked me out.

My husband's cousin tragically lost her baby at birth back in '09. She has pictures of her daughter on her Facebook after she had passed. I understand that it's a sensitive subject but to post pictures of a child who is no longer living seems to be something that should stay off Facebook. Even stranger is she uses a picture of her daughter on her email signature. So every time you get an email, you see her child. I don't mean to be insensitive because I couldn't even begin to imagine going through a loss like that, but it's it's sort of creepy.

Yeah, it is.. But i think babies are a little more.. "okay" than anything else.. But still.. a bit creapy none the less.

Someone did this on my FB feed a year or so ago. You go from "so-in-so is eating a hamburger'' to picture of a dead guy. WTF?

Luckymama0403 · January 2011

Creepy! Death in a family is a personal thing...you don't share that on FB, thats just weird.

emmared1986 · January 2011

Andplusalso, whoever posts FB pics of me in my casket is totally getting haunted.

It doesn't really creep me out, because really it's just a body, skin and bones, yadda yadda. However, I think the whole open casket funeral thing is weird, how we dress the body up, put makeup on it, and pretend it's actually the person. To me, that body laying there is not them, so I couldn't see myself wanting to have pictures of their dead body to look at. However, I guess if that's someone's way of having closure or whatever, to each their own.

I find pictures of a still born baby/one who died shortly after birth, etc. taken in the hospital after it happened to be completely different. Those are the only pictures they will ever have of them holding their baby. Not creepy to me at all. I don't think I would ever want to see funeral pictures of a baby though. The whole concept is just heartbreaking.
