Postmortem photography

Taking pictures of the elderly is a way to commemorate, which can make family members recall and cherish the past days after the death of the elderly. Especially for older family elders, taking photos is a way to inherit family memories.

Although taking photos is not a comfortable topic for discussion, it may be a very meaningful choice in some cases. For example, if the elderly are terminally ill or seriously ill, they may realize that their lives are coming to an end. In this case, actively cooperating with the elderly and letting them participate in the filming can make them feel the care and respect of their families.

Of course, taking photos is a very privacy-sensitive matter, and the wishes of the elderly and their families need to be respected. If old people don't want to be photographed, or if their families feel uncomfortable, then they shouldn't be forced to take pictures. In addition, when taking and saving photos, we need to pay attention to some privacy and security issues.
