“What Is Death?”

This is a photo of myself with my father at my great grandfather’s funeral. Even though I didn’t know my great grandfather very well nor did I really know what death was, I could tell that there was something different in the air.

By unknown photographer 

Wonder if a book of funeral photos has ever been done. This picture gets my vote to be included.
