[edit] Merge?

I dont' see much of a difference between this article and Mourning portrait. Would anyone support a merge of the two? Rklawton 18:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

• Be my guest. I added a personal family image with a shrine to the departed included in the family portrait. But we really need to get a true post-mortem photo of a deceased individual as representative of the topic. Unfortunately, I don't have one in my collection.--Mactographer 09:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

Hey, I did a rewrite of the article and added a different photograph. Please let me know if you have any comments/concerns. I was thinking about keeping the original photo on the page as an example of an alternate type of photo, but the article is still fairly short and I felt it would just crowd the page. Thoughts? —dustmite 03:11, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
