I worked in pediatrics many years ago and went to many children's funerals unfortunately. I noticed that some cultures took pictures of them in their caskets for two reasons. One... it was a part of the circle of life for the person, as you would take a picture at birth so too at death, and also some people would not be able to get to the funeral therefore they would see the person in their casket.
