I find this interesting, if somewhat morbid. I don't find the pictures of the people sleeping peacefully in their coffins nearly as eerie as the ones who were propped up to look like they were still alive; particularly 1:27 and 1:40. Also, have to wonder if some of the children, :25 and :42 for instance, willingly posed with the deceased or were coerced by their parents to do so...
I also wonder if this may be the reason some people get creeped out by dolls.
Sorry I didn't see what you were responding to, but an "Irish funeral" was one where the dead person was stood up in a corner. Everyone else around said person drank (beer I think); and as one tale tells it, puts a mug in the corpse's hand, too. That last part may or may not be correct.
I want to tell every one that there are so many babies because children had much better chance of living after the age of five. Your immune system is extremely weak for the first 5-7 years of life, so death from things so simply treated today was common. It is a very sad thing indeed.
Fascinating and a bit scary... Some of these people look like if they were still alive

It's heart wrenching to see the children in these pics.

I have an old, old photograph and wonder how many of the pictures were taken post mortem!
