    1. [MAUPIN-CHAT] Funeral pics
    2. Mary Lynn Winham
    3. I have a problem with pictures taken of people in their caskets. Wouldn't you rather remember them alive? I have an uncle that insists on video taping every family funeral. I ask him not to for my mother and father. Pictures are suppose to bring happy memories. Having said that, I do have a couple of pictures of infants, in their little caskets, at the cemetery. I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly who they are and plan to research that my next trip to Altus OK, but they are either Maupin children or Welch children.They way they were dressed and the way the cemetery looked may help me date the photos and thus identify them. But I have told all my family if they try to take pictures of me dead, I will raise up and scare the living daylights out of them, or at the very least come back and haunt them!!!! Now pictures of family around the tombstones is a different deal....I have identified some people just by whose grave they were at. Mary
