I disagree with those who think this in poor taste. It was very common in "olden days" to take photos of the deceased. I think it serves to both remind us of their life and our feelings of grief and love at the time of our loved ones death. I think it's wonderful that Andrew chose to face death and says wonders about him that he would share it here.

I kind of have to agree, this is in poor taste. No one in their right mind takes a camera to a funeral home. You might as well have brought a kareoke machine.

The twin lampstands and long coffin handle remind us that our bodies are just furniture for our souls. This isnt your Dad. This is just what he left behind. I'm sure there's more of your father in you than what's in the coffin.
I am sorry for your loss.
Deal with it as you must.

I'm sorry Andrew, but this is a horrible photograph. It's in poor taste and I wonder if your father would have approved of the invasion of his privacy. This photograph should be one of your most private possessions, not to be shared on the internet.

The black border unites with the dark form of the casket and makes the open part of the casket seem bright by comparison with the dark bulk, but soft compared with the glare of the standing lamps. The strong verticals of the pleated drape draw the eye down to the coffin, again overpowering the glare of the lamps. All of these elements together make the face the ultimate resting place for the eye. Coffin photos were traditional in my youth.
