I have seen some obituaries and death notices in which portrait photographs show the people at a much younger age than their age at death. For example, I saw a death notice for a woman who died at age 92, but the photograph of her looked like it was taken when she was aged 30 or so. What do you think of this?
I believe obituary photos should feature people in their prime, whatever age that was. It could be during their professional prime, their personal prime, or maybe their physical prime, etc. To me, that image best represents them, that's likely how they would wish to be remembered, and it's the way I would like to remember them myself.
