When I was 4 years old my grandfather died--we did not go to the funeral but someone took a photo at the calling hours of the casket. My mother showed it to me after several months when it was developed and told me "See how Grandpa looks like he's sleeping?" I had just been to the gravesite, and thought everyone who was dead in the cemetary was buried in big rooms with pink curtains, candlebulb chandeliers, and plenty of flowers.
