Designer Purses

Here is a photo of a woman in an open casket. Pale colors of purple lights are casted up and onto the lower part of the casket. What caught our eye was the three-tiered shelf full of designer purses off to the right. We see Louis Vitton, Chanel, and other designer named purses. She was probably known for her taste in clothing and purses.

Dove🕊 Release Gone Wrong

The release of majestic White Doves🕊 provides an emotional, beautiful, symbolic and memorable experience ending to a funeral or memorial service. The release provides an awesome ending to any service.

A ceremonial white dove🕊 release creates a beautiful symbolic moment of silence at any funeral. All one can hear is the gentle sounds of wings against the air as a flock of white doves are released until...Mr. Hawk needed a snack to survive.

Grave

We came across this photo of a graveyard that was taken somewhere in South America. To us it looked like weather-worn bed frames. These "frames" seem to serve the purpose of marking, and protecting, a loved one's grave. A pretty unique idea in our opinion.

Students At Morgue 1943

Here is a black/white photo from 1943 with students visiting a morgue. Sheets cover the head and the lower body. The body seems very emaciated. All eyes seem to be on the man in an old-school white coat. We see the shoes of the girls off to the right. One is wearing penny loafers and socks. Others are weearing saddle shoes with sock. We see many of the 'students' looking directly at the man with the doctors coat. There are three girls smiling with one showing a very broad smile.

We wonder if these students are college level or high school level students.

Have visited a morgue with other students?

Grimes Sisters

The murder of the Grimes sisters is an unsolved double murder that occurred in Chicago, Illinois, on December 28, 1956, in which two sisters named Barbara and Patricia Grimes—aged 15 and 12 respectively—disappeared while traveling from a Brighton Park movie theater to their home in McKinley Park. Their disappearance initiated one of the largest missing persons investigations in the history of Chicago. The girls' n**e bodies were discovered alongside a deserted road in Willow Springs on January 22, 1957.

On December 28, 1956, two of the seven children born to Joseph Cornelius and Lorretta Marcela (née Hayes) Grimes—sisters Barbara, 15, and Patricia, 12—opted to view a screening of the Elvis Presley film Love Me Tender at a Brighton Park theater. This particular occasion was the eleventh time the girls had viewed this particular Presley film, and the sisters are known to have left their residence at approximately 7:30 p.m.,having promised their mother they would be home before midnight. The Brighton Theater was located approximately one-and-a-half miles from the girls' McKinley Park home.

On January 22, 1957, following a rapid thaw of recent snowfall, a construction worker named Leonard Prescott spotted what he later described as being "these flesh-colored things" behind a guard rail as he drove along a rural country road named German Church Road, approximately 200 feet east of County Line Road in unincorporated Willow Springs.

Tree Baby Burial In Indonesia

When a baby from the Toraja tribe in Indonisia dies without teeth forming yet (before 9 months), it is buried inside a large hole in a tree. The child is placed inside the fetal position and wrapped in a cloth. The hole is then sealed with bamboo logs and the tree generates around the child and absorbs it. It is thought that when the baby is buried in the tree the wind can waft away their souls.

The Torajan are an ethnic group indigenous to a mountainous region of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Toraja's indigenous belief system is polytheistic animism. In Toraja society, the funeral ritual is the most elaborate and expensive event. The richer and more powerful the individual, the more expensive is the funeral. Wikipedia

Graveside

Here is an old photo of a couple, with quite likely their son, near an open casket with a child. What caught our eye was the young boy is smiling. We think this is a natural thing to do when a photo was being taken. He probably did not completely grasp the seriousness of the situation. Bless his heart!

We see an old house and a tattered looking picket fence behind them. There are flowers beside the coffin/casket.

Crying At The Grave

Graave sites aren’t just a place for solemnity and sadness. They can be a place of quiet joy and togetherness as well. For many, visiting a loved one’s grave is a cherished tradition.

Paying a visit on a special day becomes part of your routine, just like calling them on their birthday had been. You can gather with friends and family members, spread a picnic blanket on the grass, and spend some time together building new memories.

Whether your loss is recent or you’re remembering someone who has been gone for a long time, there can be great comfort in talking to the deceased. You can tell them about what’s going on in your life, share your hopes and worries, or just visit with them a bit.

Do Parrots Mourn?

"The process of mourning in birds is still being studied and the effects of grief can be complicated. However, it is clear that bird's are capable of feeling sadness, stress, and anxiety when another bird dies or a family member leaves the home. As an owner, it is important to recognize signs of mourning and take steps to help your bird recover. There are some effective ways to help a grieving bird, such as providing an environment with low-stress activities, avoiding loud noise and sudden changes, introducing a new companion bird if appropriate, providing comforting touches, and providing plenty of time for rest and relaxation. With a little patience and understanding, you can help your bird heal and recover from any losses they may have experienced.

The loss of another bird can affect a bird in different ways depending on the relationship they shared. Studies have shown that birds that form strong bonds with their flockmates may show signs of distress or depression when one of their flockmates passes away. The behavior of the other birds in the flock may also change as they adjust to life without their missing companion.

The loss of a companion in a domestic situation can leave a bird very sad. They have lost their sense of security and safety, making the experience very emotionally draining. During this time, birds' routines might change and they may act differently. Just like humans, they'll need extra support. Providing comfort to a grieving bird involves making sure they eat and drink normally, and talking in a gentle voice." Birdsupplies.com
