I know in Victorian times it was common to take pictures of a dead child. Pictures were very expensive and only the most wealthy families had pictures taken, but when a child died, often the family realized they would never see that child again and would incur the expense of a photographer to have the memory of what the child looked like. Obviously no other pictures existed in those cases and it kind of made sense.
